Semar, the Surakarta Pakem is not my Pakem.

In a matter of differing opinions, yes, I do prefer to follow this pakem, because to the best of my knowledge it is the only pakem that is still in existence and still observed by the Karaton which is the inheritor of Majapahit.

This pakem was prepared upon the orders of GKB Harya Hadiwijaya, by Sunarya, an abdi dalem of the Surakarta Karaton working in the Kridawahana office.It was completed on 24th. April 1924.

It came into the public domain about 25 years ago, at which time I had a loan of it for a week or so, and photographed it in its entirety. A few years ago it was published by the Yayasan Damartaji. Regrettably this publication was done on very poor paper, in fact it looks like reduced photocopies ( the original is in a very large format), and with an almost total lack of care, which has resulted in duplications and omissions in all of the copies of this publication that I have seen.

I don't know if copies are still available.

They were being sold in Indonesia, and also in Holland.

Possibly some member more knowledgeable in this matter may be able to advise you.

Hello Semar

The book "Dhapur" is offered on E-Bay (Bali-Artshop).

Best regards,

This book "Dhapur" is the one published by the Yayasan Damartaji. As advised by Alan, the quality of the photocopy is rather poor but still usable. In my book there are 5 pages missing and 4 are duplicated, mostly for blades with 5 luks.
Best regards

I fully agree with Alan and Jean: The printing quality and the paper quality of the book "Dhapur" is poor. In my copy two pages are duplicated and two pages are misplaced, but no pages are missing. All in all I find this book quite useful.

Regards,

Heinz
