Pieter Scipio van Oostende was a 17th-century Dutch explorer and soldier known for his expedition for the Dutch East India Company under the supervision of governor-general Johannes Camphuys.[1] He led a small contigent army into the inland Parahyangan region in present-day West Java, Indonesia in 1687. During his expedition, he discovered the ruins of Pakuan Pajajaran, the former capital of Kingdom of Sunda and the Batutulis inscription in the present-day Bogor area, which later named by the Dutch as Buitenzorg.[2] He was also the first European to reach the southern coastal area of Palabuhanratu, which later known by the Dutch as Wijnkoopersbaai.[3]
