ベン・メアレア寺院の伽藍寸法計画に関する推定考察: クメール建築の造営尺度と設計技術に関する研究（6）

摘要

Based on the results of previous studies on planning methods and procedures of various Khmer monuments, we attempted to analyze the case of Beng Mealea. The construction measure is considered to be 411mm, however, dimensional inconsistencies are revealed in details of some parts. The objective of this paper is to examine the planning methods and process of Beng Mealea temple by a restorative approach. Judging from the result of analysis, the planning of Beng Mealea was started with double-enclosure temple layout, and subsequently developped, probably on the way of construction, to triple-enclosure. In consequence, we can see several traces of modification in its dimesional disposition. The method and technique of this temple planning is uncharted in a sense, different from that of any other Khmer monuments we studied before.%アンコールから東へ50kn離れたベン・メアレア（Beng Mealea）寺院は，クメール王国が各地に残した、クメール寺院を代表する遺跡のひとつである。ベン・メアレア寺院は，アンコールから東に進rnむ王国時代の街道がコンポン・スヴァイのプレア・カーンとコー・ケーへ向うそれぞれの街道に分岐する位置にあり，王国にとって重要な地方拠点のひとつとして機能していたと考えられる。
