Looking for beginners guide to Keris

[awdaniec666]

Dear David, Dear A.G,

thanks again. Your comments slowly shed light on the nature of this topic for me.

I´ll just leave this invitation here - if there will be somebody one day to write an essay about the Keris - he or she is very much invited to get in touch. The Gladiological is always open for articles of this kind.

One of you said something very important: The review of articles. This is a difficult thing to accomplish when a "exotic" topic shall be released and there is nobody in the editorial team to check things for correctness. In this case we must rely on readers´feedback and publish either a corrected version of the original article or publish the feedbacks. Either way, the possibility of commenting below articles on our website is there - it just needs to be used much more

Martin:-

"An annotated bibliography of Indonesian, Filipino & Malay Edged Weapons"
T. D. Rogers, C Zwartenkop Art Books -- Leiden, 2015, ISBN/EAN 978-90-5450-014-8

This is a truly excellent & truly valuable reference source, as the title implies, it is not just a list of books, in incorporates other printed matter & provides a brief commentary on each item listed.

Timothy was a librarian working at the Bodleian library in Oxford, I think his title was "Librarian in Charge of Medieval Manuscripts", his work is meticulous & impeccable, this book took him many years to write.
