Java in the 14th Century: A Study in Cultural History : The Nāgara-Kěrtāgama by Rakawi Prapañca of Majapahit

Professor Kroms Nagara-Kert: a.gam.a edilllion of 1919 contained several lists and indexes to show the way through the maze of unfamiliar names of persons and places mentioned in the text. In con- cordance with the broadened scope of the present book the old lists have been brought up to date and some new ones have been added. It i-s hoped that they will prove to be of some use to readers who, though not being expert in rebus Jooanicis, still would take cognizance of history and development of culture in one of the most interesting islands of -the Indian Archipelago. The alphalbetical index of subjects treated in volumes II and IV of the present book is specially recom- mended to their attention. The Javanese glossary is to and general index which aJn addition the present book not found in previous edition: s, covers in the first place aU Nagara-Kertagama words and names wha: tsoever, and further many words and n: ames of other texts. In combination with the English a!lphalbetical index of subjects the Javanese glossary is to be used as a general index of contents of volwnes I-V and, up to a certain point, as a substitute for the encyclopaedia of things Javanese that is lacking.
