... that by using Timur as the subject of the fourth poem (Timurnama) of his Khamsa (quintet), its author Hatefi implied that the Turco-Mongol conqueror was a second Alexander the Great? Source: "Hatifi wrote a Khamsa (‘Quintet’) in emulation of the Khamsas of Nizami Ganjavi and Amir Khusrau Dihlavi, but replaced the earlier poets’ romances of Alexander/Iskandar with an epic about Timur, thus implicitly identifying Timur as another Alexander." (Melville, p. 1124)
Overall: Looks good to me! Interesting quote for an interesting piece of literature by an author and era that I'm personally unfamiliar with. That being said, do you have a source for "(it) is often viewed as the most important work by Hatefi"? This doesn't seem to be sourced to me. That's the only thing that stood out to me and I can change this to a green tick when this is addressed. Cheers! BaduFerreira (talk) 05:55, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
@BaduFerreira: Thank you for this valuable review! I certainly forgot to add a sentence and a reference for this claim in the body of the article; I much appreciate you catching this. I have added the respective sentence and a reference to an open access source. I hope this addresses your concern. Thanks again! WatkynBassett (talk) 06:35, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Awesome, thank you for that. Added citation provides a source for the previously unsourced claim. I've gone ahead and updated my review to a green checkmark. BaduFerreira (talk) 15:52, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
