The Perak site of the Sailendra empire

This is a short note by R. O. Winstedt, K.B.E., C.M.G., D.Litt. (Oxon.), published in the Journal of the Malayan Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, Vol. 19, No. 2 (1941), p. 242.

Summary

The note addresses the identification of a site in Perak as connected to the Sailendra empire, a Javanese dynasty of the 8th–9th centuries. Winstedt, a prominent figure in Malayan historical scholarship, uses this brief contribution to advance or clarify the argument that a location in Perak bears significance to the Sailendra’s territorial or cultural reach beyond Java. The text as provided consists of the title and author attribution only; the substantive argument is contained in the full article on the cited page.
