At the completion of this critical bibliography which forms another
step in the direction of the realization of the bibliographical
project inaugurated in 1955 by Dr. Voorhoeve's survey of the
languages of Sumatra, I acknowledge with gratitude the valuable
assistance received from various people. I am indebted to my
colleagues Prof. Dr. G. W. J. Drewes, Dr. J. Noorduyn, Dr. Th.
Pigeaud, Prof. Dr. A. Teeuw and Dr. P. Voorhoeve, who read all or
part of the manuscript and who generously put their extensive
knowledge of the Java languages at my disposal. Heartfelt thanks
are due to Mr. B. J. Hoff and Mr. A. G. Sciarone, both members of
my staff, who verified many of the biblio graphical details. I am
grateful to the library of the University of Leiden and to the
library of the Institute in The Hague because of their readiness in
giving me all the facilities I needed for the preparation of this
book. Most useful was the cordial assistance received from my
colleague Prof. Dr. P. E. de Josselin de Jong, who spent much time
correcting the many imperfections of my English text, which greatly
promoted the readability of the narrative sections of this survey."
