- A dictionary of the Javanese language

‘A dictionary of the Javanese language, compiled by the learned natives of Java for J. Crawfurd, Esq., during his official residence in Java'.
Javanese-Javanese dictionary, in Javanese script, containing approximately 10,000 items (Ricklefs, 1969, p. 255, is an underestimate), with a supplement containing an additional 800 items. Some entries are incomplete.
Apparently this is one of the dictionaries used by von Humboldt, 1836-9 (see vol. i, p. v).
