Yogyakarta court records
- Scope & Content:
-
A collection of original letters, grants of land, etc., together with copies of two pieces in verse, written in Javanese in Javanese script, dating from AJ 1725 to 1739 (AD 1798-1812).
A note by John Crawfurd (f. 1r) says: 'I send the Javanese MSS which I promised, one of them is a good piece of penmanship and consists of a scarce poem which I had copied ...'.
There are two pieces in verse: (a) ff. 68r-73r, called artinepun aksara sela kang saking siti Lĕngkir can[d]I tilasi Panji, apparently a translation of an inscription, dated saka 865 (AD 943); (b) ff. 74r-77v, called titi wiwitan sĕrat, the first stanza ending tan ana liyan kaetung among rĕtna ning kusuma (? date saka 873/AD 951).
