Dear All,
This following book is also interesting, relating to reading Indonesian studies. I got this book in a book flea market in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) Jakarta a couple years ago. A book, containing of selected writings of a Dutch Scholar, B Schrieke on Indonesia, "Indonesian Sociological Studies" (in English). Published by Sumur Bandung or formerly NV Mij Vorkink-Van Hoeve, Bandung (1960). Actually there were many book about selected studies on Indonesia by Dutch Scholars. This book is only one of them.

Why Schrieke? Schrieke was a pioneer in many respects. And the English translation of the book, containing a portion of Schrieke's study on the Hindu-Javanese period on which Schrieke was working at the time of his death in 1945.

Some contents of the books, for instance: (1) 1300-1500: Javanese Trade and the Rise of Islam in the Archipelago, (2) The Sixteenth Century: Javanese Trade in the Portuguese Era, (3) The Seventeenth Century: The Downfall of Javanese Trade.

I think, it is contextual too, if you want to study the keris knowledge, and the spreading of keris throughout the Archipelago...
