Rare Article on Malaysian Weapons

B.I · 15th January 2006, 02:54 PM

i am assuming this is a rare article, or at least its one i had not heard of before. its not directly my field, but the article does cover subjects of interest to me.

Malaysian Weapons in Arabic Literature by S.Q.Fatima.

its very interesting, and delves into early arabic sources. i havent read it properly as yet, as i bumbled on to it whilst looking for something else. its 30 pages long (includng exensive notes) and i think it was written in a journal in the 1970s.
it covers trading routes between malalsia and islam and translates some very early sources.
is anyone familiar with this at all?

Alam Shah · 15th January 2006, 03:01 PM

Hi B.I, I'm interest in the literature. If you could point me to the right direction, I'll be grateful.

nechesh · 15th January 2006, 05:14 PM

Well that's a tease B.I.
Where do we mere mortals get a hold of this article?

B.I · 15th January 2006, 11:01 PM

sorry, i didnt mean to tease.
i had access to some source material from a noted academic/author and found this article amongst others. it was already a photostat, so i have no idea where it came from. it was with other very interesting articles from various volumes of 'journal for the history of arabic science' published in the 1970s so maybe this was the source of this particular article. as i said, i havent read it yet, so cant offer any more info as yet. i do think its quite intriguing. i think it would extremely hard to find anywhere (i guess)
i have it on my camera but it needs downloading and cleaning up, which i will do. if anyone is interested in having this, please PM me your email address. its 30 pages long, so when i have time to do this, and a number of email addresses, i will batch mail them on. reckon it may take a little while as january is chaos for the english self employed that leave their accounts until last minute!!

B.I · 16th January 2006, 12:03 AM

i just had a message from my friend whose library i found this in. it was from a journal called 'islamic studies', printed in 1964

RomaRana · 16th January 2006, 04:20 AM

In many instances it really pays off to be a member of a university library with www.jstor.org access. I find more obscure journal articles then I can count, from beadwork to weapons. When I get a chance I'll see if I can find that one. Just about every academic journal is available on the server.

Highly unlikely if the issue is older than ~ 1995.

Just reading a printout of various historical journals I have and the dates they have on the site.

for instance the american historical review is everything from 1895-1999

Ethnohistory 1954-1999

Journal of Negro History 1916-2001

I believe Jstor is supposed to replace the microfilm system.

RomaRana:

No success searching the site you mention. I would be interested in a copy of the article in printed or PDf format if you get around to scanning it.

Some time ago I made an article availble for the cost of the postage and people seemed very willing to pay a small amount to receive it. You might think about recovering any costs you incur in a similar manner.

Ian.

RomaRana · 16th January 2006, 10:11 PM

I did not find the article yet but I found a plethora of other useful articles and quite frankly I found so much that I got tired of looking. The S. Q. Fatima paper was not on Jstor but there about 20 other databases I have to search (some of which I do not even know how to use yet).

If you want me to post some more samples I would be happy to.

Note the links will not work unless you have Jstor approval.

Thank you for responding...

Forget me not. It would be interesting to share this with the other Malaysian collectors.

i was going to send it to you anyway, whether you were interested or not :-)

rob t and battara - please send your email addresses. i will try to do it later today, as i am away for the weekend.

B.I · 20th January 2006, 06:51 PM

hi,
the article has been sent to everyone that sent me their email addresses. i sent 6 emails, each with 5 images and totaling just over 6mb. if you havent recieved it then it may have bounced back because of the size (surely not in this day and age).
i hope it is of some use, and i look forward to reading any potential post that it may provoke.

Thanks B.I., appreciate it...

MABAGANI · 21st January 2006, 08:08 AM

That was a fantastic read, much to digest so I need to print and reread several times. Reference is great for the previous thread on keris to kris evolution, and everything from early trade, metal, silat, swords, etc. in Southeast Asia.
