Buddhist Dynamics in Premodern and Early Modern Southeast Asia (Paperback)

The study of historical Buddhism in premodern and early modern
Southeast Asia stands at an exciting and transformative juncture.
Interdisciplinary scholarship is marked by a commitment to the
careful examination of local and vernacular expressions of Buddhist
culture as well as to reconsiderations of long-standing questions
concerning the diffusion of and relationships among varied texts,
forms of representation, and religious identities, ideas, and
practices. The twelve essays in this collection, written by leading
scholars in Buddhist Studies and Southeast Asian history,
epigraphy, and archaeology, comprise the latest research in the
field to deal with the dynamics of mainland and (pen)insular
Buddhism between the sixth and nineteenth centuries C.E. Drawing on
new manuscript sources, inscriptions, and archaeological data, they
investigate the intellectual, ritual, institutional,
sociopolitical, aesthetic, and literary diversity of local
Buddhisms, and explore their connected histories and contributions
to the production of intraregional and transregional Buddhist
geographies.
