Copies of an Old Javanese inscriptions
- Scope & Content:
-
‘Transcript of an ancient Manuscript found in Cheribon [Cirĕbon]—and three [sic] others, whence & subject unknown.’ This appears to be a copy of the same MS as Add. 12340. See the discussion of the MS there.
A: ‘Facsimile of the Cheribon MS.’ Pencil copy in antique Javanese script. Single sheet of English paper: ‘GR’, 395 × 100 mm, folded into 8 ff. With figures and diagrams. Somewhat soiled.
B: Another pencil transcription similar to A, hut without figures or diagrams. Single sheet of European paper, 380 x 100 mm, folded into 2 ff. Somewhat soiled.
C: Same as A and B, without figures or diagrams. Single sheet of English paper: ‘GR’, 375 ×100 mm, folded into 7 ff.. Somewhat soiled.
D: Pencil transcription in antique Javanese script, with extensive illustrations and calendrical tables (?). Single sheet of Dutch paper ‘C & I Honig’, 375 × 90 mm, folded into 6 ff. Rather soiled.
E: Pencil transcription in antique Javanese script with the same diagrams as in A. Single sheet of English paper: ‘S & C Wise 1810’, 395 x 100 cm, folded into 9 ff. Rather soiled.
Cohen Stuart, 1862, p. 159, and Niemann, 1870, p. 136, appear to have been wrong in suggesting that this is the same as the ‘Falak Budha' MS (see RAS Javanese Raffles Java 1).
In Old Javanese language and script.
