contain numerous and important articles on history, philology,
religion and archaeology. The last is treated specially in the
publications called _Archaeologisch Onderzoek op Java en Madura_.
Veth's _Java_, vols. I. and IV. and various articles in the
_Encyclopaedie van Nederlandsch-Indie_ may also be consulted. I have
endeavoured to mention the more important editions of Javanese books
as well as works dealing specially with the old religion in the notes
to these chapters.

Although Dutch orthography is neither convenient nor familiar to most
readers I have thought it better to preserve it in transcribing
Javanese. In this system of transcription j=y; tj=ch; dj=j; sj=sh;
w=v; oe=u.]

characters given in the following pages do not represent the modern
sound but seem justified (though they cannot be regarded as certain)
by the instances collected in Julien's _Methode pour dechiffrer et
transcrire les noms sanscrits_. Possibly the syllables Do-a-lo-pa-mo
are partly corrupt and somehow or other represent Purnavarman.]
