Such a Bonnet as this the Cheik appointed all the Slaves to wear that Tamerlane had giv'n him, and this is that which at this day distinguishes their Successors from the other Persians. In the middle, a kind of a Pyramid about a fingers length seem'd to rise out of the Bonnet, but was indeed sow'd to it. Now in regard he assum'd to himself to be descended in a direct line from Maho∣met, he cover'd his head after another manner then all the rest of the Persians, wearing a kind of flat Bonnet, growing broader and broader to the top, and so pleighted, as to make twelve Pleights of a Ruff, in honour of the twelve Pro∣phets. The Cheik planted one part of these Slaves about Ardevile, and seated the other near his own residence. He gave great honour to Tamerlane, and shew'd Eminent kindnesses to all the Officers of his Ar∣my in recompence whereof, Tamerlane, who was a generous Prince, and full of gratitude, made a Present to the Cheik of a great number of Captives, which he brought along with him out of Turky. He was a person of great wit, and the first in the dignities of the Law, which gain'd him great authority and belief among the people.

The Genealogy of the Kings of Persia, of the last Race.ĪFter that Tamerlane had extended his Conquests into Asia, and de∣feated the Army of Bajazet, whom he took Prisoner, together with his Wife, he return'd into Persia, where at that time liv'd a Cheik, whose name was Aidar, a person in high reputation for his Holi∣ness.
