60.270 Comparative Table of European, Javanese and Islamic Years.

The § 00120 in Volume I of the present book provides some information on the development of Javanese chronology. It refers to the extensive comparative tables in the “Encyclopaedic van Nederlandsch-Indië” and “Javaans-Nederlands Handwoordenboek”. As it is hard to obtain copies of these books at present, a con densed table has been prepared for practical purposes. It contains only the initial years of the decades from 1625 up to 1950 A.D. The years between can easily be calculated by approximation. The first column contains the European years (A.D.), the second column, the Javanese years (A.J.), the third, the Islamic years (A.H.)
