Batik occupies a special place in Indonesian culture. Each fabric
has a rich story to tell--as a reflection of the nation's religious
beliefs, sophisticated court cultures and cosmopolitan history. The
extraordinary textiles in this book are from the collections of
Rudolf Smend and Donald Harper. Most date from the period 1880 to
1930 when the art of batik reached its apogee. Having collected
historical batik for over thirty years and published two books on
the subject, Rudolf Smend has invited his friend and fellow batik
specialist Donald Harper to contribute his fine collection to this
publication as well. None of the batik in this book have been
published before. They represent an exquisite cross-section of the
batik production of Java--the most important batik-producing region
in the world. The cloths are complemented by vintage photographs
from the first quarter of the 20th century demonstrating how the
batik were worn at court and at home. Three are from museums in
Dresden and Cologne, while three are from the private collection of
Leo Haks. The others have been collected over the past 30 years
from private sources in Java. The captions are by Maria
Wronska-Friend, an ethnologist and batik expert who frequently
visits Indonesian batik centers and has worked for many years as an
anthropologist in Papua New Guinea. Her contributions provide
fundamental knowledge for lovers of this art form while at the same
time providing new insights for experts. Rudolf Smend has invited
other batik aficionados of his generation to share their passion
for batik in this book. Inger McCabe Elliott, author of the
bestselling Batik: Fabled Cloth of Java has contributed her
lifelong experience. Other authorities like Annegret Haake,
Brigitte Khan Majlis and Jonathan Hope share their views and
expertise in these pages. This book represents a labor of love and
a lifetime of friendship for the two authors, who hope it will
provide inspiration to a whole new generation of batik lovers.

This study explores a famous chapter of university, scholarly and
family history, placing it in context for the first time. The
Buxtorf family, which originated from Westphalia, held the Chair of
Hebrew Language at the University of Basel from 1588 to 1732 a
total of 144 years spanning a period of four generations. The
Buxtorfs conveyed the methods and findings of Jewish scholarship to
the Christian Bible scholars of the time. With their eloquent
disputations, the Buxtorfs contributed to the development of
reformed orthodoxy in a world undergoing spiritual and theological
transformation."
