「ポンサーワダーン」(王朝年代記)についての一考察(<特集>東南アジアの世界像)

Abstract

This brief note attempts to delineate the process by which the conventionally accepted periodization of Thai history based upon the shift of royal capitals has been formulated from the limited source materials available, and thereby to remind students of Thai history of the importance of internal textual criticism of historical sources, as was aptly pointed out by Dr. Nidhi Aeusrivongse in his recent studies on the history of Ratanakosin dynasty.
