  • A Buddhist Monk's Journeys to Heaven and Hell
    A Buddhist Monk’s Journeys to Heaven and Hell Jana Igunma British Library102 Phra Malai, the Buddhist saint known for his legendary travels to heaven and hell, has long fi gured prominently in Thai religious treatises, works of art, and rituals – particularly those associated with the afterlife. The story is one of the most popular subjects of nineteenth-century illustrated Thai manuscripts. The earliest examples of these Thai manuscripts date to the late eighteenth century, though it is assumed that the story is much older, being based on a Pali text from Sri Lanka. Phra Malai is mentioned in a Burmese inscription from the thirteenth century, and anonymous Northern Thai versions of the story may go back to the sixteenth century. In nineteenth-century Thailand, it became a very popular chanting text for weddings and funerals. 102 The Thai manuscripts which are the subject of this article have been digitized with the support of the Royal Thai Government to celebrate the Auspicious Occasion of the 80th Birthday Anniversary of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand, 5th December 2007. The digitized manuscripts are made available online at the library’s Digital Manuscripts viewer www.bl.uk/manuscripts. 65 The Journal of Monks reciting the story would often embellish and dramatize their tellings, contrary to the behavioral rules for monks which were introduced during the nineteenth century. By the end of the nineteenth century monks were banned from performing Phra Malai recitations. As a result, former monks who had left the Sangha often delivered the popular performances, dressed up as monks for the occasion, unconstrained by the rules of proper behavior for the real monks.

  • Tai Manuscripts and Early Printed Books at the Library of Congress
    Tai Manuscripts and Early Printed Books at the Library of Congress Ryan Wolfson-Ford Arizona State University Abstract—This article provides a comprehensive survey of Tai manuscripts held at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., USA. New items in the collection are highlighted. Some sense of the scope of the collection is also provided. The collection represents an important resource for researchers and the scholarly community. More importantly, it is a vital historical repository of the varied, but interrelated textual traditions and mental worlds of the Tai peoples. Introduction There are over 100 manuscripts in the Tai collection held at the Library of Congress Asia Division including many fine examples of illuminated or “painted” manuscripts. There are also rare early printed books from the 19th century documenting the emergence of printing. The oldest dated manuscript in the collection is an Old Lao manuscript dated 1194 of the lesser era, which corresponds roughly to 1832 in the Gregorian calendar. This collection documents a literate culture which has existed for centuries, but which still remains poorly known in the West. To the degree that this is due to a lack of original sources this collection contributes to making the Tai peoples of mainland Southeast Asia better known, and in their own unmediated words. The Tai manuscripts and early printed books of this collection are written in a variety of languages: Thai, Lao, Kham Mư̄ ang (Northern Thai), Shan, Tai Khoēn and Pāli. Besides Thai and Lao, the texts are written in a number of modern and esoteric scripts including Thai, Lao, Old Lao, Khǭm and various forms of Tham.

  • Susan Rodgers Sire Gar in a Gathering of Batak Village Grandmothers In
    A BATAK LITERATURE OF MODERNIZATION* Susan Rodgers Sire gar In a gathering of Batak village grandmothers in my house in 1976 to tape record some traditional ritual speech, one old ompu* 1 took the time to survey the changes in Batak kinship she had witnessed in her lifetime. Like many of her contemporar­ ies, she spoke warmly of the "more orderly" kinship world of her childhood, when people "still married who they should." She contrasted this halcyon age to present- day conditions: young people were marrying against the grain of the adat, house­ holds were ignoring their adat obligations to lend labor assistance to relatives in favor of concentrating on their own fields and farmwork, and her neighbors were beginning to forget some of the courtly eulogistic terms once used in addressing kinsmen. Fixing me with a stare and breaking out of her customary Angkola Batak2 into Indonesian, she delivered a final withering epithet on modern-day Batak family life: just one quality characterized it, "Merdeka di segala-gala--Freedom in every­ thing! " Change in the Angkola Batak kinship system in the last seventy to eighty years has indeed been considerable. Many of these changes have been reflected in Batak literature, which, in turn, has influenced the process. In fact, Batak oral and written literature has served the Batak as a medium for reformulating their kinship system in a time of rapid educational improvements, migration out of the ethnic homelands, and increasing contact with other ethnic societies and Indonesian nation­ al culture. In this paper I would like to investigate the relationship between Angkola Batak kinship and its locally authored literature as the society has modernized, fo­ cusing in particular on the subjects of courtship and marriage.

    JTC1/SC2/WG2 N3293 L2/07-233 2007-07-26 Universal Multiple-Octet Coded Character Set International Organization for Standardization Organisation Internationale de Normalisation Международная организация по стандартизации Doc Type: Working Group Document Title: Preliminary proposal for encoding the Batak script in the UCS Source: Michael Everson Status: Individual Contribution Action: For consideration by JTC1/SC2/WG2 and UTC Date: 2007-07-26 This is a preliminary proposal to encode the Batak script in the BMP of the UCS. 1. Introduction. The Batak script is (or was) used to write Toba, Mandailing, Dairi, and possibly other languages on the island of Sumatra. The alphabet is called si-sija-sija in Toba (van der Tuuk). Batak is read from left to right, but is often written similarly to Tagalog and Buhid, by writing vertically along the length of a piece of bamboo. 2. Unification. The different language groups share most of their letters in common, though sometimes a letter with a value in one language has a different value in another. This proposal encodes the superset of forms, regardless of pronunciation. 2.1. Mandailing. The Mandailing alphabetical order differs somewhat from Toba, and North Mandailing again differs slightly from South Mandailing. Some of the letter shapes are likewise slightly different; these are ha and sa. The rendering forms for the consonant vowel-sign combinations pa+u, sa+u, and la+u may differ from the forms used for Toba Batak. Mandailing uses two other letters for ka and ca sounds. These two letters are produced by putting a mark called tompi onto the normal letters for ha and sa.
