摘要

本文研究了被称为Kammavāca的高度装饰的缅甸手稿，以了解其豪华的材料和独特的插图揭示了缅甸最后一个王国孔邦王朝(1752-1885)的佛教实践和政治。这篇文章展示了Kammavāca手稿上的插图在孔亨王朝期间发生了变化，以新的挥舞剑的守护者为特征。这篇文章认为，这种军事化是缅甸王国日益依赖宗教仪式和宗教材料来巩固与英国交战并受到种族分裂威胁的王国的一部分。

The flower, then the sword: The militarisation of Burma's most beautiful book

This article examines the highly ornamented Burmese manuscript known as the Kammavāca to understand what its luxurious materials and distinctive illustrations reveal about Buddhist practice and politics in Burma's last kingdom, the Konbaung dynasty (1752–1885). This article shows that the illustrations on Kammavāca manuscripts transformed during the Konbaung dynasty to feature new sword-wielding guardians. This article argues that this militarisation was part of the Burmese kingdom's increasing reliance on ritual practices and religious materials to fortify a kingdom at war with the British and threatened by ethnic divisions.
