Bukhara

Silk Road city in an oasis on the lower Zarafshan, in present-day Uzbekistan, a centre of learning under the Samanids and the home of Ibn Sina's youth. In the Futuh its Khatun truced Ubaydallah ibn Ziyad at a million after her Turks were routed at Baykand, broke covenant before Sa'id ibn Uthman's hundred-twenty-thousand host, renewed on hostages, aided him on Samarqand, and sued for peace at Tirmidh. The Encyclopaedia of Islam records Samanid rule from 260/874 to 389/999, the sack under Chingiz Khan in 616/1220, and Uzbek rule from 905/1500 as an emirate until the Russian Revolution.
