Fils d’un haut dignitaire cambodgien, Tup explore alors de vastes territoires et relève des inscriptions. Ses notes de voyage ont servi à Aymonier à rédiger son Voyage au Laos. Lors de la révolte de 1885, il rejoint la Garde indigène. En 1898, il intègre la haute administration royale, avant de déchoir et de devoir s’exiler. This paper presents the life story of Tup, an assistant of the orientalist Etienne Aymonier during his exploration of Laos and Siam. Son of a high ranking Cambodian official, Tup covered large distances to explore these territories and to collect inscriptions. His field notes have been used by Aymonier to write his Voyage au Laos. During the 1885 rebellion, Tup joined the Garde indigène. In 1898, he became an official in the royal administration, but fell soon after and had to flee into exile. |
