UEber die Kawi-sprache auf der Insel Java 3 Volume Set Buchkatalog

This monumental three-volume work by the German linguist Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1835), published posthumously in 1836-9, analyses the classical literary language of Java. Humboldt's pioneering work on Kawi and its relationship with languages such as Tagalog, Tongan, Tahitian and Hawaiian was a watershed in Austronesian linguistics.
