Synopsis
This book contains a trove of historical inscriptions from the 11th-13th centuries discovered in the central regions of Myanmar. Written predominantly in Burmese and Pali, with some inscriptions in Mon, the writings in this book provide a unique window into the social, cultural, economic, and religious life of medieval Myanmar. They illuminate the region's rich history, which by the 19th century had become known as Burma. The inscriptions cover a wide range of topics, from the chronicles of kings and queens to the practices and beliefs of Buddhist monasteries. The inscriptions shed light on the complex relationship between Buddhism and the state, as well as the diverse artistic and architectural traditions of the time. One inscription from the mid-12th century, for example, narrates the experiences of a female artist working on the construction of a monastery. This book is a valuable resource for understanding the history and culture of Myanmar. The inscriptions provide a detailed account of the country's past, offering insights into the lives of its people and the development of its civilization.
