Anbiya

Anbiya.
'History of all the prophets from the Creation including the history of the island of Java’. The beginning has a date, but the year is omitted. Begins with Allah Tangala. Approximately the first 200 ff. concern the angels, Nabi Yusup, the Prophet Muhammad, etc. Thereafter the story moves to Java, at the time of the fall of Majapahit and the conversion to Islam. It ends shortly after Senapati marries the princess of Madiun.
At the end the text is dated with imperfectly formed Western numerals for [A.J.] 1746 [A.D. 1818]. On f. 308v is annotated 'Samarang'.
In Javanese language and script. In verse; 87 cantos.
