Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. Owner's bookplate inside front cover. Book is in excellent condition. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. Dustjacket is slightly soiled and frayed along edges. The study, a result of years of fieldwork by an eminent anthropologist, is the first full characterization of the Burmese Sangha, one of the five main monastic orders of Theravada Buddhism. The author begins with a sketch of the historical roots of Buddhism in Burma, and demonstrates the evolution and links between the relationship of sangha and state of the Pagan period, some thousand years ago, with that existing in the modern state, in the process, drawing on fresh analysis and translation of the Burmese historical chronicles. An essential primary source for the understanding of the present standoff between the monkhood and Burma's brutal military dictatorship. N° de réf. du vendeur ABE-1758732073309
