Soft Cover. Condizione: New. First English Edition. Subtitle: 'According to Portuguese and Spanish Sources'. Groslier's seminal study of the accounts of early Spanish and Portuguese missionaries and adventurers in Cambodia was published in French in 1958, and is translated here into English for the first time. The reports of the Europeans record the earliest surviving first-hand accounts of Angkor, following the 'rediscovery' of the site by the Khmers, over a hundred years after its abandonment in 1432 CE, and four hundred years prior to the colonization of Cambodia by the French. While the accounts are fascinating in their own right, Groslier employs some of their key observations on the structure of Angkor in the 16th century to embark on further exploration of his own into the nature of Khmer civilization. Complementing his studies of the early accounts with the first aerial surveys of the site, Groslier reconstructs a broad picture of Angkorian civilization, its economy, the genius of its engineers and planners, its unique religious foundations and the pivotal humanitarian role of its god-kings. 'Angkor and Cambodia in the Sixteenth Century' represents one of the major breakthroughs in our understanding of this rich and complex medieval Asian culture, and is a pillar on which all subsequent studies have been built. Essential for all readers, both scholarly and lay, who seek to further understand the society responsible for the construction of the great monuments of ancient Angkor. "Scholars of Thai history, not only the Cambodian experts for whom the book is primarily intended, will find Groslier's work of great value. It is rare to see such a carefully prepared text." J. Cairncross, in a review of the original French edition, JSS Vol. 47, No. 2. Translated by M. Smithies. 200 pp, 1 b&w woodcut, 6 maps, 11 p. annex containing transcription of relevant excerpts from 8 original Portuguese and Spanish sources, Cambodian lexis, bibliography, index .
