Babad Sĕjarah Mĕntaram
- Scope & Content:
-
Babad Sĕjarah Mĕntaram. Historical chronicle from Adam to the fall of Kartasura. This is a copy of Add. 12320, without the earlier ending discussed in Ricklefs, 1974, pp. 214-16, and without the colophon at the end. The copy seems to be exact, as far as could be determined by a rapid comparison, except on f. 572r. of Add. 12287 where the copy ceases to follow Add. 12320's text, hut later returns to it. Both texts have 170 cantos because of this divergence of Add. 12287, although Add. 12287 lacks Add. 12320's final canto. Copyist (sĕratanipun) Sĕtradirana (cf. Add. 12280, 12290). Dated damar muluk wikujagat [A.J. 1703/A.D. 1777], like Add. 12320. Ricklefs, 1969, p. 246, wrongly converts this date.
In Javanese language and script. In verse; 170 cantos. See Ricklefs, 1969, p. 246.
