This book introduces the overview of history historical evidence and diplomatics. It also
introduces the method of criticizing and researching historical evidence. In Vietnam
diplomatics has become a compulsory subject for students of the history faculty and some
universities have provided diplomatics major at higher education. Though historical scholars
have been well aware of the importance of diplomatics materials for studies and research in
this scientific field are still limited. For this reason since 2014 the History researchers
of Th D u M t University Vietnam have come up with the idea of writing this book entitled
Diplomatics and Vietnamese historical evidence to help the community of lecturers and students
at tertiary education to access basic knowledge of diplomatics and an overall description of
the system of historical evidence in Vietnam.
