One Thousand Years - The Stories of Giao Châu, the Kingdoms of Linyi, Funan and Zhenla
During the Vietnam War, the country was divided at the 17th parallel. About 140 kilometres north of this dividing line is a mountain pass called Ngang pass. The land south of this pass, about 60 per cent of present-day Vietnam, was occupied for centuries by the kingdoms of Linyi, Funan and Zhenla. But most people either have not heard of them or have only vague ideas about them. This book is about these kingdoms. North of Ngang pass, Giao Châu, was ruled by northern dynasties for over a thousand years from the 2nd century BCE to the 10th century CE, barring a few intervals of independence. This volume also tells how the people of Giao Châu came out of this long period to become an independ...

Đại Việt and Champa: Panduranga, Kauthara, and Indrapura
Most travellers to Vietnam will, at some point, visit a Cham tower or view some Cham artefacts in a museum. These were left behind by the Cham people of the now-vanished kingdom of Champa. They are unique, exquisite and mythical. The people who built and carved these beautiful works once inhabited central Vietnam and the northern part of the south, which stretches over 1,000 kilometres from north to south. Today, with a population of less than 200,000, the Chams live primarily in Ninh Thuận, Bình Thuận and other provinces in the Mekong Delta. Champa’s history is broadly divided into three eras: the First Era (5th to 10th centuries), the Second (10th to 15th centuries) and the Third (1...
Manuscripts and Travellers
This study is based on a manuscript which was carried by a Chinese monk through the monasteries of the Hexi corridor, as part of his pilgrimage from Wutaishan to India. The manuscript has been created as a composite object from three separate documents, with Chinese and Tibetan texts on them. Included is a series of Tibetan letters of introduction addressed to the heads of monasteries along the route, functioning as a passport when passing through the region. The manuscript dates to the late 960s, coinciding with the large pilgrimage movement during the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Northern Song recorded in transmitted sources. Therefore, it is very likely that this is a unique contemporary testimony of the movement, of which our pilgrim was also part. Complementing extant historical sources, the manuscript provides evidence for the high degree of ethnic, cultural and linguistic diversity in Western China during this period.
이스라엘 민족의 방랑사
하나님은 아브라함에게 그의 이름을 아브람에서 아브라함으로 바꿔주면서 그가 많은 민족의 아버지가 될 것이라고 약속하셨다. “그러므로 네 이름을 이제부터 아브람이라 하지 아니하고 아브라함이라 하리니 이는 내가 너로 많은 민족의 아버지가 되게 함이니라” (창세기 17:5) 이 약속은 이삭의 후손을 통해 성취될 예정이었다. 이집트 종 하갈에게서 물려받은 아브라함의 첫 아들 이스마엘에게도 비슷한 약속이 주어졌다. 이스마엘도 큰 나라를 이루리라고. “그러나 여종의 아들도 네 씨임이니라 내가 그도 백성을 삼게 하...
