PREFACE
At the completion of this critical bibliography which forms another
step in the direction of the realization of the bibliographical project
inaugurated in 1955 by Dr. Voorhoeve's survey of the languages of
Sumatra, I acknowledge with gratitude the valuable assistance received
from various people. I am indebted to my colleagues Prof. Dr. G. W. J.
Drewes, Dr. J. Noorduyn, Dr. Th. Pigeaud, Prof. Dr. A. Teeuw and
Dr. P. Voorhoeve, who read all or part of the manuscript and who
generously put their extensive knowledge of the Java languages at my
disposal. Heartfelt thanks are due to Mr. B. J. Hoff and Mr. A. G.
Sciarone, both members of my staff, who verified many of the biblio
graphical details. I am grateful to the library of the University of
Leiden and to the library of the Institute in The Hague because of their
readiness in giving me all the facilities I needed for the preparation
of this book. Most useful was the cordial assistance received from my
colleague Prof. Dr. P. E. de Josselin de Jong, who spent much time
correcting the many imperfections of my English text, which greatly
promoted the readability of the narrative sections of this survey.
Special acknowledgement and thanks are offered to Mrs. W. E. Haver
Droeze-Hulswit, member of the staff of the Institute and to my
Javanese assistant Mr. J. Soegiarto. Without their patience and con
stant willingness to help me in every respect, this book would never
have been completed.
INTRODUCTION
In this volume the term "languages of Java and Madura" will only
be applied to Sun danese, Javanese and Madurese. This means that no
attention will be paid to the Malay spoken in the capital, Djakarta,
nor more generally to the Malay of Java. For this I refer to Teeuw's
bibliography of Malay and Bahasa Indonesia (vol. 5 of this series,
p.45-47).
In view of the wide differences between the three languages con
cerned, not only as to the degree in which they have been studied,
but also as to their cultural and literary importance, no uniform method
has been adopted in surveying the existing bibliographical data.
Neither for Sundanese nor for Madurese were separate paragraphs
on the literature or on the older phases of the language needed. For
Javanese the situation was quite different. Although it is true that
some overlapping could not be avoided, it seemed convenient to arrange
the material into two sections, one exclusively devoted to the study
of Modern Javanese, as spoken and written in the 19th and 20th
centuries, and another one which gives bibliographical information on
Old Javanese and on Javanese literature.
I have not limited myself to publications of a predominantly linguistic
nature. Being convinced of the very close relation between linguistics
and philology, which are often inseparable in the study of older phases
of the language, I felt it my duty to provide all those data which may
be helpful for the study of language taken in its broadest sense.
Within the last century, but especially since the founding of Bale
Pustaka (1908) hundreds of books written in Sundanese and Javanese
have been published. No useful purpose is served in trying to include
them all in this bibliography. For Madurese however, it seemed
useful to aim at completeness in the same way as we had attempted
this in our survey of the languages of Borneo (vol. 2 of this series).
4 LANGUAGES OF JAVA AND MADURA
Therefore I have listed in the Madurese section all primers, readers,
bible translations and translations from other Indonesian languages
known to me. It seemed convenient to keep all these publications
separate from the rest of the Madurese bibliography. Consequently
the bibliographical data of that language have been arranged in five
subsections: 1) general, 2) publications by Bale Pustaka, 3) school
books, 4) biblical readers and bible translations, 5) readers issued by
the provincial authorities of East Java which are printed in a new
spelling especially devised by them in 1940.
In general the bibliographies are arranged alphabetically by author's
names, or in default of these, by the title. If necessary, the catchword
and the year of publication are mentioned in brackets in the text. In
keeping with the Dutch system, Van, De, Du, Der are not considered
part of the author's proper names in determining the alphabetical
order. Proper names of Indonesian authors have generally been entered
under their first component, although in some cases it seemed preferable
to regard the first component as a first name as in the western system.
Consistency in spelling was difficult to achieve. In general we have
kept to the spelling used by the authors themselves. If this could not
be done because of the fact that the title was printed in Javanese
characters, the official spelling with Roman characters in force before
the second world war has been followed in transcribing the title.
However, if a book also had a title in Roman script, this title was
entered. Some inconsistency will surely be found in the spelling of
place names. In the text we have adhered to the system nowadays
in use in Indonesia. However, in the bibliography we have taken over
the spelling used by the authors. When more than one publication by
an author has been included in the bibliography, these have been
arranged chronologically, except in the subsection of the Madurese
bibliography devoted to Bale Pustaka publications. Joint authors have
been included under the author mentioned first. Some titles of books
or articles have been shortened or altered in minor details. In principle,
the year of the first edition has been used for reference in the text.
Square brackets indicate that the year of appearance of the book con
cerned, though not mentioned on its title page, was known or could
be inferred from other sources.
