Could be a BREAKTROUGH book about Javanese keris in my posession

Oops, since I havent been here you guys seem to have dedicated a whole new space to the keris , should this be moved there?

I saw a very large format Solo book (copy) in a keris' shop inside big market (pasar Beringhario) in Yogya. It was about tosan aji dapur and written also in old Jawa language. I didn't buy it because it was really too large (not possible to put the copy inside the baggage!!)

Radu, glad to have you back!
Any good Tuika in Sulavesi?

You should have brought some Krises to use them for mititei...

Welcome back Radu. Glad you had a great trip. I look forward to seeing the keris you bought.
As for this armory book you acquired, i wouldn't go so far as to say it is a breakthrough. These books are known and i'd be willing to bet that a couple of our members even have a versions. It is, however, something i would personally be VERY interested in seeing. If you do have a way of sharing it i am sure that many here would be grateful.
Ariel, it's nice to welcome your friend back, but "You should have brought some Krises to use them for mititei..."???
This is like telling someone that you should have brought some Yad back from Israel to use for shish-kabob. Not exactly a sensitive remark.

Allright, WHICH ONE OF YOU HAS IT?

here is the first page, clearly marked with two dates possibly beginning and ending of creation: 1850 and 1929. Translation please.

Ariel, if you insist with culinary experiences while there, here to name a few: kalong, sate jamu, frog pooridge, swallow nest soup, sate kobra, lungs jerky, ayam tongseng and of course endless fried plantan but this in another section, lets focus on this book.
