The core of this book is an encyclopaedia of Javanese terms for individual dance positions and movements, with detailed drawings by Marjolijn Groustra. This central part is preceded by a discussion of the significance and function of the art of dancing in Javanese culture, complemented by lengthy excerpts from treatises written by Javanese specialists, and by a survey of the different genres and choreopgraphies of traditional Javanese dance.

This dictionary is intended to be a thorough documentation of the vocabulary of the Muna language, a regional language spoken in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Anticipated users are primarily linguists and anthropologists wishing to learn more about this language and the Muna culture. Therefore, as much information as was available was included, thereby sometimes overstepping the boundary between dictionary and encyclopaedia.
