Panji Jaya Kusuma
- Scope & Content:
-
Panji Jaya Kusuma.
Its contents seem to be the same as the first third of the Panji Jaya Kusuma epitomized in Poerbatjaraka, 1940, pp. 103-17. Dated 29 Bĕsar A.J. 1701, but Weatherbee argues that this must be a mistake for A.J. 1731 [24 March A.D. 1805]. According to the flyleaf the MS came from Rothenbuhler of Surabaya, Feb. 1812. At the top of the first page is a note, punika sĕrat kagunganipun nyonyah Sakebĕr ing panĕgri Surapringga [gezaghebber]; Peter Carey has suggested that nyonyah Sakebĕr was probably Rothenbuhler's wife.
Throughout the text are handsome polychrome illustrations in wayang gĕdog style. In origin, script, art style, etc., this MS seems to be connected with MSS Jav. 28.
An English translation by L. R. Burke done in June 1820 is in Mackenzie 1822 collection 28 pt. 2 (Blagden, 1916, p. 29).
In Javanese language and script.
