Professor Krom's Nagara-Kert: a.gam.a edilllion of 1919 contained
several lists and indexes to show the way through the maze of unfamiliar
names of persons and places mentioned in the text. In con- cordance with
the broadened scope of the present book the old lists have been brought
up to date and some new ones have been added. It i-s hoped that they
will prove to be of some use to readers who, though not being expert in
rebus Jooanicis, still would take cognizance of history and development
of culture in one of the most interesting islands of -the Indian
Archipelago. The alphalbetical index of subjects treated in volumes II
and IV of the present book is specially recom- mended to their
attention. The Javanese glossary is to and general index which aJn
addition the present book not found in previous edition: s, covers in
the first place aU Nagara-Kertagama words and names wha: tsoever, and
further many words and n: ames of other texts. In combination with the
English a!lphalbetical index of subjects the Javanese glossary is to be
used as a general index of contents of volwnes I-V and, up to a certain
point, as a substitute for the encyclopaedia of things Javanese that is
lacking.
