War-bands on Java

- Note
- This thesis is part of a larger project on war-bands around the Java Sea in the late seventeenth century. In this piece, I flesh out new approaches to studying VOC sources. Many more perspectives, however, can be obtained through different methods and sources. These range from Javanese court chronicles to stories of Juru Kunci to geographical surveys. During the next four years, I intend to conduct research from those angles as well. Some questions implicitly raised in the introduction will then be addressed more directly. The conclusion here limits itself to European beholders. As the reader will find, however, plenty of translated letters of Javanese, Makassarese and Bantense origin are available in the Dutch archives and already discussed here. Those still give a dynamic touch to the European eyelet offered in this thesis.
