Cultural Classics

Preface

Cultural Classics is a collection of the 10 papers presented at the Workshop on the Cultural Classics of Southeast Asia: Myanmar and Thailand held on 6-7 September 2001 at the SEAMEO Regional Centre for History and Tradition (SEAMEO CHAT), Yangon, Myanmar.

The papers are not only of great interest but also of immense value as they will provide much needed information for the Compact Encyclopedia of Southeast Asian History to be produced by SEAMEO CHAT with the aim of bringing together a body of knowledge on the cultural history and important traditions meaningful to the Southeast Asian public as a whole in a compact encyclopedic format.
