  • B. O’Kane (2000): The Uzbek architecture of Afghanistan, S. 128, Fig. 3–4: dasselbe Gebäude. S. 124: “[…] Balkh was briefly brought under Uzbek control by the founder of the dynasty, Mohammad Shibani Khan, in 1505, but only after 1526, when the Shibanid Kistan Qara Soltan began his eighteen year governorship of the town, did Uzbek rule become lasting. Kistan Qara Soltan chose to be buried at the nearby ‘Alid shrine (the mazâr-i sharif) upon his death in 1544 […]”; S. 126: “According to Mahmud b. Amir Vali the gonbad of Kistan Qara Soltan b. Jani Beg Khan was indeed adjacent to the south side of the shrine. In the Târikh-i Mazâr-i Sharif the tomb of Kistan Qara Soltan is called the Gonbad-i Kabud, and Kistan Qara Soltan’s wife Tursun Begum is credited with having first built it for herself.”
