The Indianized States of Southeast Asia by George Cœdès [Coedès]
Overview:
In his editor’s note, Walter Vella states that this classic text “has
been universally acclaimed and—the surest proof of its impact—heavily
relied on by all later scholars. . . . [It] remains the basic text for
those who seek to understand Southeast Asia—not only its ancient past,
but also its immediate present—for the Southeast Asia of today cannot be
understood without a knowledge of the traditional values and
institutions, which remain vital, and which present leaders seem
increasingly to esteem as a guide to the future.”
Recognized as the
unchallenged dean of Southeast Asian classical scholarship, George Cœdès
wrote for both specialists and the general public. From a lifetime of
study of Chinese, Arabian, and European chronicles, and from deciphering
ancient annals and inscriptions, Cœdès has traced the story of India’s
expansion that is woven into the culture of Southeast Asia. It was Cœdès
who revealed the existence and importance of the ancient state of
Śrīvijaya in southern Sumatra, and insight into classical Khmer
civilization rests upon his epigraphic research in Cambodia. In this
volume are the synthesized results of these and other studies,
culminating sixty years of research.
