Description  

For seven centuries, Chiang Mai has been the center of a lively culture and

civilization in the hills of what is now northern Thailand. Owing to widespread

literacy and an energetic intellectual life, these Thai frequently have

written histories. One of the most important of these, the Chiang Mai

Chronicle, was written in 1827 to explain the growth and strength of the

Kingdom of Lan Na which Chiang Mai dominated, and to foresee a glorious

future in the aftermath of the terrible devastation of a generation of warfare.


This edition of The Chiang Mai Chronicle was prepared from a palm-leaf

manuscript in the personal collection of Dr. Hans Penth of Chiang Mai. The

manuscript was transcribed by David Wyatt and translated with the active

assistance of Aroonrut Wichienkeeo. Extensive indexes and annotations

assist the reader, and a dozen maps have been drawn especially for this

edition.
