Pawukon
- Scope & Content:
-
Pawukon.
Prose treatise on divination, inconnection with the Javanese wuku calendar of 30 x 7 days, and otherchronological systems (weeks of 210 days). Medicines for children are alsomentioned. The idiom is pre-Islamic Javanese; the style is succinct andpragmatic, using many abbreviations for days, weeks, and wukus. The top and bottom lines of the leaves aredarkened and often illegible. The leaves have no original numbering (or it isillegible) and seem to be out of order. Dr. Pigeaud suggests the MS may be 17thcentury or a little earlier, and perhaps from the countryside of Central orEast Java.
In Javanese language, in Buda or gunung script, regular and done with care.
