Editorial notes and bibliography

Language.

The texts are translations of bureaucratic-legal Dutch, and have the characteristics of translationese.  Noteworthy characteristics are

•  (1) convoluted attempts to match Dutch subordinate clauses;  

•  (2) the use of per- forms as calques of Dutch ‘voor’, e.g. perselamannya ‘voor Althoos’, for ever;  

•  (3) too-literal translations, as e.g. dengar-dengaran dengan kesetiaan for Dutch ‘gehoorsaamheit’, obedience.

Another peculiarity is the occasional use of me- forms as roots, producing memeganggui, dimenyempurnakan, dimemenentukan [!] etc.
