The arrival of four Dutch vessels in the harbour of Banten, Java, in 1596 formed the beginning of the intensive Dutch involvement in Asia. Unintendedly, this trade expedition was also the kick-off for the study of the areas where the Dutch East India Company, and later the Dutch state, would be active. The rst professorship in Arabic was created as early as 1613, but Javanese, Malay, Chinese, and Japanese would only follow in the mid-19th century. Sanskrit would have to wait until 1865. Despite this somewhat slow start, however, Asian studies subsequently grew exponentially, and at present it would be impossible to imagine Leiden University without them. This richly illustrated walking guide presents some highlights and outlines of that story, and gives insight into the close relationship between the study of Asia and the city of Leiden.
Bilingual: English and Dutch.
The walking guide is available via Dutch book shops.
