Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Volume I: Text: xiv, 422 pages, frontispiece.Volume II. Catalogue: vi, 337 pages, maps, plans, index. Volume III: Plates: 8 pages, 455 plates, frontispiece 'Old Burma Early Pagan is one of the most important contributions to Southeast Asian archeology in many years. It is the first exhaustive study of the subject, and may be the last one for a long time to come. The general exclusion of foreigners from Burma since 1964 is likely to hamper further studies and to make unpublished material difficult of access. The progress of decay of works of art at Pagan is quickening. Much that is described and illustrated in this book has now disappeared; and much more is doomed to disappear within a few years. The proportions of the book are worthy of the subject. Volume one contains the text; volume three the plates; volume two the catalogue of plates, with a detailed description of each an full references. Writing with singular clarity and distinction, the author brings to life the brilliant period in which Burma came into being as a nation. As the leading authority on the epigraphy, history, art and archaeology of the country, he possesses unique qualifications. On the basis of contemporary inscriptions and other records, he reconstructs a cycle of events of which the traditional histories give a very garbled version. He analyzes architecture, sculpture and painting of the old city of Pagan from the late 10th to the mid-12th-century.'.…
