MSS Jav 17

Title:

Panji Angreni

Scope & Content:

A: pp. 14-257 [ff. 7v-128r]. Panji Angreni. In verse; 50 cantos. Black ink; 21 lines per page.

B: pp. 279-555 [ff. 138v-277r]. Angling Darma. In verse; 90 cantos. Brown ink; 29 lines per page.

The original from which this MS was copied was done in Sĕmarang by Mĕrtadirana and was begun on 8 Ruwah sapta guna ratu jalma. This gives A.H. 1137 [A.D. 1724], but Weatherbee believes this is too early and moreover is inconsistent with the other elements of the date; perhaps it is a mistake for A.J. 1731 [11 Nov. A.D. 1804].

Both texts are profusely illustrated with outline sketches in wayang style; text and images in Angling Darma are embellished with red ink.

In Javanese language and script.
