This volume commemorates a new exhibition of Burmese artifacts at
the Musee Guimet in Paris and showcases the vibrant art and
manuscript traditions of Myanmar. The central pieces displayed in
the exhibition were three richly illustrated manuscripts called
parabaiks. These vivid paintings, which show lively festivals and
the pageantry of daily religious and courtly life, are a window
into the culture and customs of nineteenth-century Burma. Also in
the exhibition were a number of other manuscripts, inscriptions,
diagrams, and even an ornate wooden model of a traditional Burmese
monastery. The accompanying essays-translated from the original
French exhibition booklet-explore complexities of the Burmese
language, manuscript production, and background of the exhibited
items as well as explaining the festivities and other spirited
scenes illustrated in the parabaiks.
