A rediscovered 1696 decree poster of the Governor General in Batavia, with unexpected stylistic particularities

Un décret de 1696 interdisant l’ouverture de nouveaux sites de production de sucre, d’arak, de chaux et de briques, en raison de la rareté du bois de chauffage, fut généralement ignoré. Son poster officiel ne fut pas archivé, mais trouva son chemin dans une bibliothèque étrangère, où il a été redécouvert récemment. Il s’agit d’un remarquable texte officiel original complet de l’époque. Cet état permet d’examiner le style langagier, qui n’est pas accessible dans les publications rééditées des documents officiels. Il livre ainsi des éléments socio-linguistiques sur les particularités des relations entre les fonctionnaires de la VOC et le siège.
