The Dutch East India Company, Christiaan Huygens and the Marine Clock, 1682-95
The story of the Dutch East India Company, Christiaan Huygens and the marine clock shows that in the seventeenth century Dutch Republic there was a tendency towards the formation of a modern partnership between business, science and technology. This emerging relationship was personified by Johannes Hudde (1628-1704) and Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695), men from entirely different walks of life except for their shared interest in science, especiall…

Lombok under the Mataram Dynasty, 1839–94

Thus began a long period of political stability for the island, a period in which Lombok developed into the most orderly, the richest and certainly the most powerful independent state of the nineteenth century Eastern archipelago. Unlike the stereotypes of colonial historiography, Mataram Lombok was not a despotic, isolationist an…

Human Sacrifice in Bali: Sources, Notes, and Commentary
Visitors to Bali who have had the opportunity to witness a cremation ceremony will be aware that it is a truly extraordinary pageant. The huge crowd of spectators, the elaborately decorated bamboo pyramid (bade), the long procession, the chanting priests (pedanda), the music of the gamelan, the funeral pyre, all this and more, make for an extremely colorful spectacle. Today's ceremony, however, traditional though it is in most respects, is no lon…
