"BUKU KLASIK ini mengupas kedudukan raja dan seni mengelola kekua saan di Jawa masa lampau, mulai dari segi magis-religius raja, struktur kekuasaan, hingga pembiayaan negara. Dapat dibaca, raja Jawa memiliki kekuasaan tak terbatas, namun ia dituntut berlaku adil, bijak sana, dermawan, dan mampu menjaga ketenteraman negara. Dapat dibaca pula, struktur kekuasaan di Jawa sangat rentan pemberontakan sehingga kedudukan raja senantiasa rapuh. Buku ini dapat menjadi latar belakang dalam memahami politik Indonesia sekarang."

"The author's investigation of early-modern Javanese law reveals that judicial authority does not come from the contents of legal titles or juridical texts, but from legal maxims and variations thereof. A century and a half ago Simon Keyzer, a recognized scholar of Javanese law, noted that understanding of that law is dependent upon a grasp of such pithy expressions, which provide the key to the whole body of suits. (*Preface*, C.F. Winter, *Javaansche Zamenspraken*, 1858, which examines hundreds of *sloka*, the majority of which are directed to prevailing legal practice).Drawing upon the contents of 18th century Javanese legal texts, the present work builds upon Keyzer's and Winter's references to '*sloka*-phenomena', namely *sloka* proper (maxims) and its derivatives *sinalokan* (that made of *sloka*), *aksara* here meaning legal principles, and *prakara* (matter, case). These are usually conveyed in vignettes illustrating their function and as a group, constitute the essence of traditional Javanese written law."
