G. Quaritch Wales, the erudite scholar of early Southeast Asian history who died in 1981. The occasion of this bequest, the contents of which are discussed in the Librarian's report herein (pp. 169–70), prompts this note on the contribution of Quaritch Wales to Southeast Asian studies.Quaritch Wales was born in 1900 and educated at Charterhouse and Queens' College, Cambridge. He immediately embarked on a career in Southeast Asia, from which he was never to be deflected. At the age of 23 he entered the service of the Siamese Government where he served from 1924 to 1928 as an adviser to the courts of King Rama VI and King Rama VII. The first-hand knowledge gained from this experience formed the basis of his pioneering study Siamese State Ceremonies (1931), which remains a work of unrivalled insight into the Brahmanical rituals and Buddhist accretions of Thai kingship. He...

The ancient urban centres of the valley, Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur had emerged early in the century as three separate kingdoms. The tradition of jointrulership, whereby rule of each city-state was shared between branches of the ruling Malla dynasty had collapsed. The three kingdoms were engaged in constant rivalry which intermittently spilt over into open hostility and which consumed much of their energy and wealth. Yet it was also this rivalry which stimulated an era of generous royal patronage of the priesthood and the sponsoring of major pūjās and religious festivals, together with the building of new palaces and temples dedicated to the rulers' favourite deities. Support was extended not only to the artists commissioned to decorate the palaces and shrines, but also to poets, writers and mu...

The Mahavihara Master is known from the illustrations in one palm-leaf manuscript, a royal commissioned edition of the Ashtasahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra, shared between the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and the Tibet Museum, Lhasa. They can be ranked as the finest extant series of 12th-century paintings known and provide some understanding of the great mural painting tradition of medieval eastern India, which is lost to us. The atelier tradition to which this master belongs is of seminal importance in the history of Indian painting, bridging as it does the pan-Indian Ajanta style of the first millennium and the subsequent schools of painting which inherited the chromatic and linear qualities evident in later Hindu and Jain dev otional paintings, and in Sultanate secular painting.
