- Title:
- Panji romance
- Scope & Content:
-
Panji romance, with 39 coloured drawings (including four across two pages) with Javanese wayang-style figures on naturalistic backgrounds.
The MS is dated at the beginning but with confused dates combining AJ and CE dates. The AJ date should evidently be Jimawal 1789, which coincided with the CE date given as 7 May 1861. The MS says that it was owned by one Bah Si Cong who lived in Kampung Cina (but of what town is not said).
In Javanese language and script.
