Item description from seller

Oversized hardcover, xi + 535 pages, weight over 1kg, NOT ex-library. Mild external handling wear only. Interior is crisp, clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- The book explores South Asian documentary cultures from the pre-modern to the modern period. It provides a multidisciplinary look at how documents - ranging from legal deeds to administrative letters - were produced, archived, and used in social and political life. Core Themes and Structure - The volume is organized into five thematic sections that analyze the "social life" of documents: - Diplomatics [focuses on the formal features and typology of documents, including the formation of an "Indic" diplomatic tradition and the role of digital methods in studying these records]; - Documentary Practice [examines how records like the Newari chatas challenge Western chronological historiography and how historical records documented religious sponsorships, such as the renovation of the Svayambhucaitya]; - Legal Practice [this is the largest section, covering topics like debt laws in 17th-century Mithila and the enforcement of Nepal's first legal code, the Muluki Ain of 1854]; - Administration [investigates the role of documents in state bureaucracy, including revenue farming in Kathmandu and the use of British and Gorkhali records by local elites]; - State and Religion [explores the intersection of administrative affairs and religious institutions, such as the role of ascetics in central administration]. The work marks a shift toward studying documents not just as passive sources of information, but as active agents that embodied norms and constituted institutions. It heavily utilizes materials from the National Archives of Nepal, making many previously inaccessible or unstudied records available for scholarly analysis.
