Keris and other Malay Weapons (Bibliotheca Orientalis: Malaya-Indonesia)

A new edition of a classic on Malay weaponry and war originally published in 1936, and now virtually impossible to find. In this work, Gardner illustrates (photos & drawings), describes and catalogues the entire corpus of Malay weaponry. He pays close attention to the origins of the Kris and its close association with the Occult in Malaya an interest that was to have a huge affect upon him later in life. On return to England he focussed all his energies on the study of Western witchcraft and the occult, and is considered by many to be the Father of the modern Wicca movement.Gardner, Gerald B. is the author of 'Keris and other Malay Weapons (Bibliotheca Orientalis: Malaya-Indonesia)', published 2010 under ISBN 9789748304298 and ISBN 9748304299.
