Materials for the Medieval and Early Modern History of Indonesia

Inscriptions and Charters

The pre-modern history of Java is not well-known, and there are only few sources available, mainly inscriptions, charters, and foreign reports which are scattered in different, mostly older publications. This site wants to contribute to a better understanding of the medieval history of Java (understood as the period of the empires from Srivijaya to Majapahit) by offering a small number of documents online in translation. The presentation of the sources is organized as simply as possible.
