Serat Jaya Lengkara Wulang
- Scope & Content:
-
Serat Jaya Lengkara Wulang.
Wrongly identified by Ricklefs & Voorhoeve (1977: 48) as Gonda Kusuma.
Compare with MSS Jav 24 of the same work, which is very similar in hand and style, and may have been decorated by the same artist.
This appears to be a single text, with some loose pages and miscellaneous annotations at the beginning and end. The beginning is abrupt, and clearly some pages are missing. Begins with a discussion of the king of Bojanĕgari.
In Javanese language and script. In verse; 76 cantos.
