Title:

Wayang texts

Scope & Content:

Wayang texts:

A: ff. 3v-29v (RV pp. 2-53). Anĕnggih punika nĕgari ing Dwarawati.

B: ff. 30r-46r (RV pp. 54-95). Punika nĕgari Ngastina; there are many amendments and additions on small pieces of paper stitched on. (NB f. 40 was originally stitched over the underlying f. 40a to obsure and replace it, but was separated to enable f. 40a to be digitised in 2018).

ff. 47r-48v. Text written parallel to the spine.

C: ff. 49r-67r (RV pp. 102-37). Anĕnggih punika wadyabala ing Ngastina. This text is preceded by the note, punika pemut kala Kangjĕng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Anom Amĕngkunĕgara ingkang sudibya raja putra Narendra Mataram [the Crown Prince, probably of Yogyakarta, later Sultan Hamĕngkubuwana II] and the date 10 Bĕsar bĕrmana sirna . . . jagat [AJ. 1707/17 Nov. A.D. 1781].

D: ff. 68r-121r (RV pp. 141-247). Punika jĕjĕr Wirata. On Javanese paper.

E: ff. 122r-153v (RV pp. 251-328). Punika garwanira Raden Klana Jayakusuma.

F: ff. 154r-175v (RV pp. 330-72). Punika nĕgari ing Ngastina.

A colophon dates the finishing of the copy on 17 Sura A.J. 1709 [2 Jan. A.D. 1782].

A badly faded pencilled note on the flyleaf reads ‘Col W . . . n' and Weatherbee suggests this confirms a Yogyakarta origin.

In Javanese language and script.
