Gardner 1936 PDF
Just stumbled onto this, not all the illustrations made it though the digitizing unscathed.
:) KERIS AND OTHER MALAY WEAPONS BY G. B. GARDNER 1936 http://lawica.free.fr/liv/Keris.pdf |
Good find Jeff . :)
|
Wow, thanks Jeff. I have been wanting to check this book out for some time, not so much because i think the info will be particularly accurate as much as the fact that Gardner was also the father of modern Wicca. The book is hard to find and usually expensive when you do find it. I will be interested in checking out his perspective. :)

Great find, but I have one unfortunate observation: the PDF doesn't contain the complete text. :(
The hunt for Gardner continues.... |
I have been very interested in this book myself, and have been looking for a copy for some time. There is some good news for those interested in the book though. I emailed Orchid Books a month or two ago regarding this book as I thought they had a reprint available. Well, not yet....

The Keris and Other Malay Weapons

Dear All,
I bought "The Keris and Other Malay Weapon" in Kuala Lumpur 1998. Thus, this book is a 16th reprint by the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Sociaty (1998). These are the first two pages of that book, which contains articles on keris and other weapon by: AH Hill, GC Woolley, HC Keith, GM Laidlaw, GB Gardner, E Banks, and Abu Bakar bin Pawanchee... This is the first page of the contents. Regards, Ganjawulung |
Hi Ganjawulung,
The title is misleading as there are two reference works on the keris with similar titles: Keris and other Malay weapons by G.B. Gardner and The Keris and other Malay weapons by A.H. Hill Yes the MBRAS edition (A.H. Hill) is fairly available and an interesting work (I think we have the same edition). Gardner's work is a bit more elusive. Compare the PDF to the MBRAS book and you will see the difference. Happy Reading |
Yes Ganja, TC is correct. While the book you are referring to does have an article by Gardner included it is not the same as the 1936 book which is completely by Gardner. This book was last reprinted in 1973. I remain hopeful that it will be reprinted again by Orchid Press. :)

Thanks David, and tc,
I hope some day I'll get it, at least the copy of it... Happy weekend... |
