Abstract
We comment on a recently published paper of Gupta and Sutherland on the thermodynamics of the sine-Gordon chain. We present a short alternative derivation of the various thermodynamic functions in the high-and low-temperature limits. While our mathematical results essentially agree with theirs, we propose a different physical interpretation.Keywords
