Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Since 1907, the École française d’Extrême-Orient (EFEO) has been crucial in research and conservation at Angkor, a major Asian metropolis abandoned to the jungle in the 16th century. This catalogue features one hundred and eight images selected from the EFEO’s extensive archives, showcasing the site’s principal temples before they were cleared of vegetation and rubble, as well as during and after the restoration process. Essays by EFEO specialists contextualize the School’s archaeological work and introduce more recent discoveries. This publication serves as both a memorial and a reference work, appealing to professionals and amateurs interested in the arts of Southeast Asia. The contents include discussions on the rediscovery of Angkor, the EFEO's century-long partnership, and its role in establishing scholarly institutions in Cambodia. Topics also cover ancient Khmer construction techniques, new data on Angkor's origins, urban history and archaeology, and insights from the EFEO’s photographic archives. Additional sections explore the preservation of Banteay Srei, various archaeological maps, and a glossary. The work highlights significant interventions by the EFEO in Angkor, making it a comprehensive resource for understanding this historic site and its ongoing legacy.
