Yes, Rick...I getting this. Currently awaiting for delivery. The book I listed are the ones that I have.
![]() Krisses: a critical bibliography - Auth: David van Duuren, Pub: 2002, Netherlands ISBN: 9073187427 - Format: Hardcover, 192 pages - ***1/2 Van Duuren catalogs and reviews most of the known writings on the keris. About This Book The kris -- an object of fascination for many travellers and researchers through the centuries -- became the object of serious study with the publication in 1817 of Sir Stamford Raffles' historic two-volume work, The History of Java. This bibliography, the first of its kind ever, compiles and analyses the important 19th and 20th century publications about the krisses of Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Accompanied by several colour plates, this work is the seminal research tool for collectors and connoisseurs of this Southeast Asian weapon. Last edited by prime; 31st January 2005 at 11:37 PM. |

Keris and other weapons of Indonesia, - Auth: Moebirman, Pub: Yayasan Pelita Wisata, Jakarta, [1973, c1970] - ** Basic information on kerises, mainly javanese pieces. Kris Gli Invincibili- The Invincible Krises, - Auth: Vanna en Mario Ghiringhelli, Pub: BE-MA, Milano 1991 - ISBN 88-7143-111-1 - **** A beautifully illustrated little book with some of the best photographs - of keris i have seen. Unfortunately, it's a tiny-sized volume (about 4 1/2 X 5 1/2). A good visual tour on keris with not much text. Listed below is a book not directly related to keris, but have references to its use in Malay Magic, mysticism. Malay Magic: an introduction to the folklore and popular religion of the Malay peninsula, - Walter W. Skeat Note: Still looking for this book. Anyone can help? ![]() Last edited by prime; 1st February 2005 at 02:56 PM. |

Prime, i think you misread something. I just ordered this book for $30 USD. Sure, you can buy a first edition for $300 or more, but it was reprinted in 1967 and you can get those pretty cheap. Check the site again. They list from cheapest to most expensive examples.
