About This Book
The kris -- an object of fascination for many travellers and researchers through the
centuries -- became the object of serious study with the publication in 1817 of Sir
Stamford Raffles' historic two-volume work, The History of Java. This bibliography,
the first of its kind ever, compiles and analyses the important 19th and 20th century
publications about the krisses of Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Accompanied
by several colour plates, this work is the seminal research tool for collectors and
connoisseurs of this Southeast Asian weapon.
