Title:

Sĕjarah sagung ing para Ratu

Scope & Content:

Sĕjarah sagung ing para Ratu

ff. 2v-273v. A romanized Malay note at the top of the first page describes this as ‘Cherita tana Jawa dari Adam sampe Mataram’. The text is identical to MSS Jav. 33, ending at exactly the same point in Senapati's career. Either MSS Jav. 10 was copied from MSS Jav. 33, which is thirty years older, or both were copied from the same original. This text is dated 7 Ramĕlan nir panĕmbah ing pandita aji [A.J. 1720/8 April A.D. 1794]. An English translation of this MS is in Mackenzie 1822 collection 20 (Blagden, 1916, p. 14).

Three loose folios at the end of the volume:

f. 274: Document in Javanese, ending in roman script: atau tulis ... Mr Colonel Mackenzie jikaloo ada suka pada saya.

f. 275: Small fragment in Malay in vocalised Jawi script: Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatahu. Wa-ba'adahu. Sahaya bermaklumkan kiranya abang Abdul Kadir jikalau ada suka hari Ahad pagi abang boleh dating ke rumah juru tulis karena apa Abdul Karim hendak dating ke sana begitu kalau suka ...

f. 276: Note in English: My adorations & respects to the Panumbahi or Holy Men, on Monday (soma) the 7th of the month Ramalan the year Nubbeh - the season of himang sa casuma. Containing Particulars of the different Governments & Dynasties that existed in the Island of Java ... from the creation of Adam & going on until King Sallah Challah.
