Buddhist History in the Vernacular: The Power of the Past in Late Medieval Sri Lanka
ISBN: 9789004139107 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is a careful study about the power attributed to historical narratives in early medieval Sri Lanka. On the basis of Sinhala histories of the Buddha and his relics this work sheds new light on historiography at work in a vernacular setting. Arguing that historical texts were both ethically and socially constructive, the author demonstrates that narrative representations of the past served the purpose to transform writers, readers, and listeners of history into virtuous persons, and therewith to generate moral communities. Focusing on the thirteenth-century Sinhala Thupavamsa, this...

Buddhist Poetry and Colonialism: Alagiyavanna and the Portuguese in Sri Lanka
ISBN: 9780199935789 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Many researchers have explored the impact of British and French Orientalism in the reinterpretations of Buddhism in South and Southeast Asia during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Less noticed, however, and infrequently discussed is the impact of Portuguese colonialists and missionaries upon Buddhist communities in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries across Asia. Stephen C. Berkwitz addresses this theme by examining five poetic works by Alagiyavanna Mukaveti (b.1552), a renowned Sinhala poet who participated directly in the convergence of local and trans-local cultures in...

The History of the Buddha's Relic Shrine: A Translation of the Sinhala Thūpavaṃsa
ISBN: 9780195301397 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Buddhist chronicles have long been had a central place in the study of Buddhism. Scholars, however, have relied almost exclusively on Pali works that were composed by elites for learned audiences, to the neglect of a large number of Buddhist histories written in local languages for popular consumption. The Sinhala Th?pavamsa, composed by Parakama Pandita in thirteenth-century Sri Lanka, is an important example of a Buddhist chronicle written in the vernacular Sinhala language. Furthermore, it is among those works that inform public discussion and debate over the place of Buddhism in the Sri...
