  • Description: The two main aims of this book as stated by Perret in the Preface are: to show current developments of the discipline through a corpus perspective, and to review the 200 years of epigraphical research in Southeast Asia. Yet, given the nature of the subject, many authors adopt a geographical criterion to discuss ‘their’ corpus of inscriptions, while other authors prefer a historical, bibliographic, or a more analytical approach. Perret himself contributed two excellent chapters, ‘A historical survey of epigraphy in Maritime Southeast Asia’ and ‘Building the corpus of Indianised inscriptions in Sumatra’, while Titi Surti Nastiti compiled a comprehensive description of all known Batu Sima border markers of Java with transliterations and translations of selected inscriptions.
