Synopsis

In this work Professor M. C. Ricklefs explores the nexus between religious belief and mundane behaviour in mid-eighteenth century Java - exploding widely accepted stereotypes about the role of Islam in Javanese civilisation as he does so. This study rests upon a vast range of Javanese and Dutch sources. Readers will gain a unique sense of how members of the Javanese elite thought, prayed and performed at this time, when pre-colonial Javanese court culture was at its height.
