Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of Mirzo Ulugh Beg's scientific and political activities in the context of the Eastern Renaissance. Specifically, it highlights the sociopolitical conditions that fostered the development of science and culture during the Timurid era and explores the scholar's role in this process. The study examines the activities of Ulugh Beg's observatory, the scientific significance of the astronomical observations conducted there, and the role of the Zij-i Jadid-i Kuragoniy, which was created based on these observations, in medieval astronomy on a scientific basis. It also examines the scientific school formed by Ulugh Beg, the contributions of its scholars, and the process of transforming Samarkand into a major scientific center. The article also analyzes the scholar's policy regarding the combination of public administration and scientific development and summarizes its comprehensive impact on the development of society based on scientific findings.
