"With their liking for ostentation at court, it was also natural that several of the Jalayirids should distinguish themselves as builders, but many of the architectural achievements for which they were renowned have been destroyed. One of the buildings of Khwaja Mirjan, who was the Jalayirid governor of Baghdad on more than one occasion, has survived, however. It is the Islamic university (madrasd) in Baghdad, which was later named Jami'-i Mirjan. The Spanish ambassador Clavijo, usually a reliable observer, records having seen a palace of gigantic proportions in 804/1401 in Tabriz which was called Daulat- khana and had been erected by Uvais. His observations could well be based on fact. Lastly, Sultan Ahmad's repeated efforts to improve or restore the architecture of Baghdad are emphasised in many sources."
