Thank you Mr. Maisey.

I am fluent (native) in Bahasa Indonesia with serviceable Javanese (mostly passive); I would be grateful if you can advise some literature/references that I can use to study this topic. Unfortunately I am presently not based in Java.

I recently acquired Haryoguritno's Keris Jawa and Harsrinuksmo' Ensiklopedi Keris, but have yet to read them in full - is there any particular section I should pay more attention to?

Also, I've tried googling "Turun Temuruning Mpu Tanah Jawa" it doesn't seem to generate any credible information source, grateful if you can clarify.
