A thousand years of Cambodian epigraphy — from the 7th Century to the 15th — come to life in this handsome hardbound set. Prof. Jenner dissects every single word from more than 1,100 inscriptions, tracing etymologies back to Sanskrit and Pali and forward to modern Khmer and Thai. Jenner draws on a century of French and Cambodian scholarship — never translated into English — as well as his own authoritative translation of the Old Khmer texts to produce an unparalled reference to the complete corpus of Cambodian inscriptions.
