From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theodoor Gautier Thomas Pigeaud (20 February 1899 in Leipzig – 6 March 1988 in Gouda)[1] was an expert in Javanese literature from the Netherlands. He especially became famous for his Java-Netherlands dictionary (1938) that Poerwadarminto chose as the foundation of Baoesastra Djawa. Moreover, Pigeaud is also known because of his monumental study of Nagarakretagama[2] and text catalogues of the manuscripts in the libraries of the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany.
