Description
Summary:[...]in this period the European community on the one hand secluded itself from the Indonesian population, and on the other hand had certain objects which the Indonesians admired and adopted. [...]it is one Review Articles 119 of the few passages in which the author makes clear the reason for the inverse chronology of his work as a whole. [...]in Islam the ruler no longer is regarded as a supernatural being but, as the Tajus-Salatin puts it, 'as a human being among his subjects'. Section A (pp. 17-26), 'The gradual elaboration of Javanese kingship', deals with the continuity of the long process of evolution of kingship -that is to say, in the agrarian kingdoms. [...]1825, the conversion of forest areas to agricultural land followed the pattern of the 'concentric kingdom'.
