During the past four decades an impressive corpus of manuscripts
and epigraphical material in Thailand, Laos, and adjacent
Tai-speaking areas has been surveyed, documented, and digitized.
Scholarly interest in this material has not been restricted to
philological and historical studies of the texts contained in
manuscripts and inscriptions but has extended to its material
aspects, which encompass manuscripts written on palm-leaf, various
forms of paper, cloth, bamboo, and other organic material, and
inscriptions on stone, metal, and wood. In Manuscript Cultures and
Epigraphy of the Tai World, Volker Grabowsky seeks to explore the
production, use, and transmission of manuscripts both as containers
of traditional knowledge and as objects used in daily life,
rituals, and ceremonies. Particular emphasis is given to the
relationship between manuscripts and inscriptions, as both have
influenced each other to no small degree. Through a comprehensive
look at the Tai-language literature's chronological and synchronic
development, readers will learn the social importance of these
literary productions.
