About the Book:
The tradition of Vamsa literature in Pali, originating in the Buddha-ghosa era, has evolved uninterrupted until the nineteenth or twentieth century. While the origins of Vamsa literature are attributed to Sri Lanka and Burma, Thailand has also contributed significantly to its development. This book focuses on the Sangitiyavamsa, a comprehensive chronicle of Thailand's Buddhism and its history, composed by Bimaladhamma (Somdet Phra Wannarat) in 1789. It was created to commemorate the Ninth Buddhist Council of 1788 and to legitimize the reign of Rama I. Divided into nine sections, the text chronicles the history of nine Theravada Buddhist Councils across India, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. This edition aims to present the complete Roman edition of Sangitiyavamsa, accompanied by critical notes and indexes, and highlights the importance of the Thai Vamsa tradition, which has largely remained unexplored in the academic world.
