Leiden. KITLV. 2003. First Edition. Stock ID #177722

Translated by Rosemary Robson-McKillop. Folding floorplan, black and white photographic illustrations, xxvi + 397pp, index, bibliography, appendices, dustjacket, upper edge trifle foxed, a very good hardback copy.

This volume contains English translations of a number of Dutch-language articles selected for their relevance to the institution of the Kraton, the Javanese palace complex, as it was towards the end of the colonial period, in the 1930s.

The majority of the articles, originally published in the period from 1921 to 1941, relate especially to the Sultanate of Yogyakarta, rather than the Kraton of Surakarta, due to their being taken from the journal Djawa, published by the Java Instituut (Java Institute) which was located in Yogyakarta.

Eighteen articles including, 'The Cultivation of Javanese Literature during the last forty years', 'Notes on the graves of the chief ministers (patih) of Yogyakarta', 'Marriages in the Yogyakarta Kraton', and 'The Kraton of Surakarta in the year 1915'.
