Abstract

A controversial book on the history of the VOC in the seventeenth century was written by Fran ois Valentijn, a preacher in the payroll of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The book (eight volumes), published in 1724-1726, was known by its popular title Oud en Nieuw Oost-Indi n. Most of the materials in the book were pirated from other sources without acknowledging their authors as is the proper practice of historiography. But as to its style, a number of Dutch writers appreciated its esthetic qualities. Beside that, the book is indeed useful to historians today because some of the materials pirated in the book have now been lost forever.

Abstract

This article addresses the research on media history in Indonesia. The VOC (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie) period of the seventeenth/eighteenth century, also known as the early modern period, is regarded as a starting point in this study. It was during this time that printing machines were imported from Europe by the VOC authorities. The availability of paper and printing ink also made it possible for the production of printed matter such as forms, books, and other material. The first known printed media was the Bataviasche Nouvelles, which served as a kind of newspaper. This period saw three types of publishing houses: (1) urban publishing; (2) publishing houses working under contract; and (3) royal publishing houses. Basically however, all these different publishing activities were aimed at supporting the existence of the VOC. Publishing companies were generally engaged in providing service to the Church and meeting the VOC's administrative requirements. Communication media, based on enhancing freedom of opinion and disseminating information, would pose a problem as it would come face to face with VOC's power monopoly.
