Manuscript collection of the Taya Sabeyon-kyaung monastery
- Scope & Content:
-
The collection of the ’A rheʹ kyoṅʻʺ monastery (pronounced Ashay-kyaung), also known as Capayʻruṃ kyoṅʻʺ (pron. Sabe-yon-kyaung) in Ta rāʺ (pron. Ta-ya) village is comprised of three manuscripts. Such miniscule archive is apparently all that remains of manuscript assets of this former town. Surviving items had curricular and ritual use and are not special. If they are indicative of the collection as a whole, it might be assumed that the holdings of ’A rheʹ kyoṅʻʺ contained a fairly generic selection of titles that were in demand in village monasteries during the final years of Burmese monarchy and first decades of colonial rule. Based on the marks on manuscript covers (which were usually ordered in batches and differentiated by manuscript numbers), it might be assumed that at its prime the collection has included at least fifty palm-leaf bundles. Additionally, it contained some leporello manuscripts that do not survive by now.
Custodial history: The custodial history of collection in this particular case is essentially an account of its disappearance, but we were not able to learn much about that. The present abbot claimed that there were not many manuscripts remaining when he first came to the monastery as a schoolboy in c. 1948. A cache of leporello manuscripts was reportedly destroyed between 1948 and 1967, but the abbot could not remember or was not inclined to tell how that has happened. Several decades ago, a palm-leaf manuscript of a medical work was taken away by Ūʺ Sanʻʺ Mra, an officer at the department of immigration and manpower who was born in Monywe, lived in Hsalingyi, and died around 2005. Beyond that, the collection sustained no other losses if the information provided by the abbot is to be trusted.
Administrative context: Administrative context of manuscripts is not known beyond the fact that they are owned by the monastery and are in the custody of its abbot.
Extent and format of original material: The collection is comprised of two palm-leaf and one lacquer manuscripts. One of them was digitized in the framework of this project. 1 series.
Owner(s) of original material: The current custodian is Ūʺ Paññājota, the incumbent abbot of Capayʻruṃ kyoṅʻʺ.
