บทคัดย่อ
This article critically examines Collected Chronicles, Volume 21: Records on the Political Negotiation between the Thai and the Burmese by Prince Damrong Rajanubhab, arguing that a full recension of the book is needed due to numerous inaccuracies and a lack of comprehensive coverage. The study finds that the book covers only one-fourth of the existing copies or drafts of negotiation letters exchanged between Early Rattanakosin Siam and Konbaung Burma from Chunlasakkarat 1146 to 1219 (1784/1785 to 1857/1858). To provide a comprehensive recension, the article examines 27 manuscripts, which contain 29 copies or drafts of these letters, as well as all other relevant manuscripts housed at the National Library of Thailand.
