Part two: Thai manual medicine as represented in the Wat Pho Epigraphies: Preliminary comparisonsFootnote¹

A previous version of this paper was presented at the First International Conference on Traditional Asian Medicine, Canberra, Australia, 1979. The Ludwig Vogelstein Foundation, New York, provided financial assistance, and presentation of this paper was made possible also by the generous assistance of Professor T. H. Silcock of Australian National University.

We are indebted to Clinton J. Lockert, South and Southeast Asia Bibliographer, M.S.U., for his contributions to the preparation of this paper. F. K. Lehman, University of Illinois‐Urbana, contributed most valuable advice on translation problems, not all of which has yet been fully utilized. Trond Schumacher, University of Oslo, also provided helpful criticism of an earlier version.
