Epigraphia Zeylanica

Epigraphia Zeylanica is an irregularly published series that deals with epigraphs and other records from ancient Ceylon. Established in 1904, the series' contents range from individual articles and notes on inscriptions to single-author monographs. Over the last century, Epigraphia Zeylanica has functioned as a key source for the history of ancient Ceylon and its early epigraphic records.
