DESCRIPTION:The ‘Book of the Three Worlds’ (‘Traiphum’\; inv. no. 
 II 650\, Museum für Asiatische Kunst\, Berlin) is one of the most beautif
 ul\, oldest and magnificent manuscripts on Buddhist cosmology from Thailan
 d. The thirty-three-metre long leporello manuscript was commissioned by Ki
 ng Taksin of Thonburi in 1776 from four royal painters and four royal scri
 bes. In 2023\, the Berlin museum programme CoMuse allowed collaborative re
 search to be carried out of its images and texts. It focused on a six-metr
 e-long section of the manuscript: the idyllic and secluded world of the Hi
 mavanta forest with its beautiful lakes\, animals and plants\, the course 
 of the southern stream from the Himavanta forest to the human world and th
 e many Jātakas (pre-birth stories of the Buddha) situated therein. The co
 llaborative team not only analysed the interplay of text and image in the 
 manuscript\, but also explored the connections between what is depicted he
 re and other textual traditions of Thailand.
