Ahmad-Muhammad
- Scope & Content:
-
Ahmad-Muhammad.
Beginning and end are missing and the remaining text is damaged and badly stained.
Marginal insertions outside the text indicate that the MS came from Yogyakarta, mentioning for example the full title of the crown prince of Yogyakarta. There is an incomplete date outside the text (on p. 128) mentioning 13 Mulud in the year Dal. Weatherbee suggests that this gives a terminus ad quern for the MS of A.J. 1711 [A.D. 1785], but this is based upon an assumption that the crown prince mentioned was the first crown prince (later Sultan Hamĕngkuhuwana II), which was not necessarily the case. The Dal year referred to could he as late as A.J. 1735/A.D. 1808.
In Javanese language and script. In verse; 20 cantos.
