Manik Maya and other texts
- Scope & Content:
-
A: ff. 1v-55r (RV pp. 1-114). A melange of cosrnogenic myth and legendary history; a Manik Maya text which ends before the story of Ken Tisnawati, a Catur Yoga, and an Islamically tinged Aji Saka, all treated as a single text. J. G. Vincent's original Dutch translation among the uncatalogued Mackenzie ‘Miscellaneous' MSS in IOL identifies the text as being extracts from Javanese MSS found in the court of the Sultan of Yogyakarta in Aug. 1812. This MS appears to be a copy made in Sĕmarang of the missing original(s). The beginning of the text translated by Vincent is missing in this copy. A colophon in the translation but missing from this copy dates the work (the Aji Saka?) in Yogyakarta, 16 Puwasa A.J. I708 [26 Aug. A.D. 1782]. An English translation of Vincent's Dutch translation is in Mackenzie Private collection 69 (Blagden, 1916, p. 206).
B: ff. 58r-73r (RV pp. 116-47). Wayang text, with a note by Mackenzie, 'A Section of the History of Indraw Sampoorna of the Country of Husteenah'. Begins, punika kagengandalem kanda Ringgit Purwa lampahan Endrasampurna jĕjĕr Ngastina.
C: ff. 74r-81v (RV pp. 149-62). Census statistics, with a note by Mackenzie, 'Part of a statement of the Population of Different Villages'. Beginning missing: ing watu gajah gawening wong walu. This is the same text as in MSS Jav. 60.
In Javanese language and script.
