Abstract
This article publishes and annotates a 1928 correspondence between George Cœdès and Paul Pelliot concerning the identification of “Sien-lo” (Xianluo 暹羅) in Chinese sources relating to early Siam. Accompanied by a commentary on late 13th-century Siamese history, the exchange highlights the methodological challenges faced by two pioneers and leading French scholars of Asia in reconstructing Southeast Asia’s early past. Beyond its documentary interest, this article underscores enduring uncertainties about the emergence of the first territorial and political entities in Thai history, questions that remain largely unresolved despite subsequent advances in the field.
