Serat Paramusita = Serat Cakrawarti
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Prose treatise on time-reckoning systems. See MS pp. 205-07 for the author's introduction to, and genealogy of, this work. In this introduction, Ronggawarsita cites the cosmogonic Serat Dyamasastra (see MN 553.1) as his original source and charts the putative transmission of this text over time. The author signs and dates the present text with the sandiasma: "rong [9] naga [8] awama [4? 17] sinuta [1]." But several lines later, calling himself "Sang Kawiswara," Ronggawarsita provides another date, this one in ciphers: AJ 1771 (184314). According to this introduction, the complete Paramusita was to have been divided into nine sections. Extant here is only the first section, the Serat Cakrawarti, a prose treatise on the time-reckoning systems that were relevant in nineteenth-century Surakarta. Included are discussions of, and charts for, Arabic, Chinese, Indian (Hindu and Bengali), Turkish (Rum), Dutch, Coptic, Persian, Bugis and archaic Javanese calendrical systems. The Javanese calendrical systems treated here are: 1. Palimasa: the calendar of Empu Sangkala, used in the era of the gods (on Java). 2. Prawamasa: the calendar of Sri Maharaja Kano. Volume is dated AJ 1809 (1879). The present MS is probably copied from MN 2-3. Volume is provided with a table of contents (MS p. ii). Text should be read as follows: first pp. 205-360 and then pp. 1-204. Cursive Surakarta script (Mangkunagaran). Watermark: "C & I Honig." Inserted in the original manuscript is a letter from a certain Jayawiyata presenting this volume to Pandukiswara Nararya Gondasiwaya (a son of Mangkunagara IV); this letter of presentation is dated 22 November 1889.

ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Prose treatise on the time-reckoning systems that were relevant in nineteenth-century Surakarta. Included are discussions of, and charts for, Arabic, Chinese, Indian (Hindu and Bengali), Turkish (Rum), Dutch, Coptic, Persian, Bugis and archaic Javanese calendrical systems. This volume extends only to Java's first calendrical era (Palimasa), which is said to have been established by Empu Sangkala and to have begun in the year 1 with the first human population of the island. See MS p. 1 for the author's introduction to, and genealogy of, this work. In this introduction, Ronggawarsita acknowledges the cosmogonic Serat Dyamasastra as his original source. He signs and dates the present text with the sandiasma: "rong [9] naga [8] awama [4? /7] sinuta [1]." (AJ 1789 = AD 1860/1). But several lines later, calling himself "Sang Kawiswara," the author provides another date for the text, this one in ciphers: AJ 1771 (1843/4). The introduction prefaces a text which was to have comprised nine sections; extant here is the first part of section I: Serat Cakrawarti.

Pustaka Raja Purwa-Madya-Puwara
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Ronggawarsita's complete Pustaka Raja series composes a universal history of Java for the Javanese years 1 to 1400, that is, from the first human population of the island by Empu Sangkala up to the fall of the Majapahit empire. The narrative traces Javanese dynastic history from time the Hindu gods reigned as kings on Javanese soil down through the generations of their royal descendants, including the Javanese Pandhawa and Kurawa princes of Mahabharata fame, the heroes and heroines of the Panji tales, the early legendary kings of Central Java, and the rulers of Majapahit. And if one includes Ronggawarsita's Paramayoga (MN 319D.10; KS 279.3) that prefaces it and his Babad Itih, (MN 84-95) that forms its sequel, the Pustaka Raja history extends from the Creation up to the division of the realm of Mataram into the modern kingdoms of Surakarta and Yogyakarta in the sixth decade of the eighteenth century. Compiled (mostly) in prose and supplied with dual chronologies (for solar and lunar years), the Pustaka Raja was produced by the prolific Karaton Surakarta Kadipaten pujongga R. Ng. Ronggawarsita III in the middle years of the nineteenth century.

Winter and published in 1853 (VBG Vol. XXV). See also Poerwa Soewignja and Wirawangsa, Pratelan Kawontenaning Boekoe-boekoe Basa Djawi, vol.

ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
The romance of Prabu Anglingdarma, legendary ruler of the kingdom of Malawapati. Macapat verse. Beginning and end of MS missing. Drewes writes of the present MS (R.P. 16): "part of the A.D. story, beginning in the middle of the tale about the wooden statue that was brought to life, and ending with A.S.'s visit to an ajar in search of his sons" (The Romance of King Angling Darma in Javanese Literature, p. 174) Vol. I of this set is no longer extant.

Serat Anglingdarma
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
The romance of Prabu Anglingdarma, legendary ruler of the kingdom of Malawapati. Macapat verse. See Drewes, The Romance of King Angling Darma in Javanese Literature, esp. pp. 170-231. This MS was copied, evidently as a didactic exercise, by the children of R.T. Wiryakusuma (see MS p. 1): " ... duk kala anedhak sungging, wit keng karsa Dyan Menggung Wiryakusuma. Kinen anyerat kang atma, mugi sami den maklumi wit carita nagri Jawa ... " Copy is dated (MS p. 1) by the sangkala "naga [8] tri [3] esthi [8] rupa [1]" (AJ 1831 = AD 1908) and (MS p. 810) "trustha [9] tri [3] angesthi [8] jalma [1]" AJ 1839 = AD 1909). MS was apparently acquired from Ir. J. L. Moens, a Dutch civil servant and aficionado of Javanese letters who lived and worked in Yogyakarta in the 1920s; a pencilled note in fly-leaf reads, "30-11-1920 saking Tuwan Moens." The script is similar to one which is associated with the court of Pakubuwana X. MS leaves numbered 1-810; p.#s 25, 227, and 412 x 2, no p.#s 113, 138, 254 and 755.

A comparison of opening lines of cantos in this MS with those of the published edition (Surakarta, 1896) show the two to be almost identical. The published edition, the contents of which are described in some detail in Poewa Soewignja and Wirawangsa, Pratelan Kawontenaning Boekoe-boekoe Basa Djawi, vol. II (Batavia: Ruygrok & Co., 1921), pp. 147-57, comprises a total of 55 cantos, however. The present MS (canto I, p. 1) contains the author's signature in sandi-asma and a record of the poem's date of composition, AJ 1791 (1862/3), in candrasangkala: "jalma [1] trus [9] kaswareng [7] bumi [1]." MS ends (canto 53, p. 878) with a record of the date of this copy, Respati, 4 Sapar Dal 1815 (13 November 1885); sangkala: "tata [5] harja [1] ngesthi [8] siwi [1]." The copyist's name is concealed in the sandi-asma: "Yawirsungunmaka[ng] winot" = Mangunsuwirya kang winot. Compare hand with that of MN 19. Cursive Surakarta script. The ink is very faded, p. 434 ff.

The published edition of this text (Surakarta, 1900) comprises only 18 cantos; see Pratelan II: 219-22. A comparison of opening lines of cantos in the present MS and the published edition show the first 19 cantos of the two redactions to be almost identical; canto 12 of the present MS is absent from the published edition, however. MN 23 (canto 1, p. 1) contains the authors' names in sandi-asma and the date of the poem's composition, AJ 1792 (1863/4), in candrasangkala: "nembah [2] trus [9] sukaning [7] budi [1]." MS was inscribed by Mas Demang Citrawursita from another prototype text in his possession; copy is dated AJ 1847 (1917); see MS p. 304.

Serat Sri Madewa = Pustaka Raja Puwara
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Classical Javanese history for the solar years 1059-60. Prose. Treating the histories of a number of legendary, classical realms, the volume focuses especially on the adventures of Prabu Jayalengkara, king of Purwacarita (Tanoyo, p. 9, no. 40). This volume opens (pp. 1-270) with the adventures of Jaka Pandhak, including his struggle with Prabu Hemawa, the king of Sambawapura (who is finally revealed as Jaka Pandhak-Raden Kalabumi's long-lost brother, Raden Kalabanyu). After the brothers are reconciled, Jaka Pandhak is installed as king of Malatar with the title, Prabu Herutala. The text (p. 270 ff.) then takes up the story of the king of Purwacarita, Prabu Jayalengkara. Jayalengkara has left his kingdom in sorrow because of false accusations that he is involved in an incestuous relationship with his sister, Retna Condraswara. Disguised as Prabu Kalasurya, Jayalengkara and his allies, Prabu Herunawa and Prabu Herutala, attack Ardangkara's kingdom of Lawu Pamagetan (p. 330 ff.). The forces of Kalasurya-Jayalengkara defeat Ardangkara, who flees. To celebrate the victory Kalasurya calls Sulaksana, Ardangkara's ex-vizier and father-in-law, to tell him a story (p. 356 ff.). Sulaksana tells of Ardangkara's decline into sexual profligacy in the interval between his two marriages; because of the innuendo striking Kalasurya's own questionable sexual behavior, the story-teller is immediately put to death. Kalasurya and his ministers then go off in search of Ardangkara. Meanwhile, the text continues (p. 377 ff.), the tiger-headed king of Giyantipura, Prabu Kala Singha, decides to invade Java. His forces attack and defeat the troops Kalasurya had left behind to guard Lawu Pamagetan. Prabu Kala Singha next attacks and defeats the country of Purwacarita, where nightly the demon-king changes his form to that of Jayalengkara and enjoys a sexual liaison with Jayalengkara's elder sister, Retna Condraswara. Meanwhile, the real Jayalengkara (that is, Kalasurya) musters his forces to attack Purwacarita. At the same time Resi Wiku Raddhi and Sri Manuhun (the adoptive and natural fathers of Kalabumi and Kalabanyu) join forces with Kala Singha. The battle rages on and on. Kalasurya is finally defeated. Kala Singha is then revealed as the god Bathara Guru. He vanishes, leaving the god Naraddha behind to instruct Jayalengkara in the precepts of virtue (p. 615 ff.). Purwacarita prospers under the restored rule of Jayalengkara. In the concluding pages of this volume (p. 650 ff.) Retna Condraswara is changed into a snake by the gods in punishment for her refusal to marry. She vanishes to the great consternation of her younger brother, Prabu Jayalengkara.

The volume concludes with the dramatic demise of both Jayalengkara (who remains to the end suspected of an incestuous attachment to Retna Condraswara) and the country of Purwacarita. After a lengthy prophecy and a series of spectacular signs, Jayalengkara vanishes with his spiritual advisor into a brilliant radiance. The earth splits open and swallows the country of Purwacarita. The only survivors are those who happen to be out of the country at the time of the holocaust. Among the survivors are several of Jayalengkara's sons and the elusive Retna Condraswara.

Javanese history, mid fourteenth century (lunar years 1281-1315). Prose. Volume features the histories of Pajajaran, Majapahit, and Pengging (Tanoyo, p. 22, no. 76). Of special note is a narrative that recounts the murder of Prabu Gondakusuma (a.k.a. Sri Pamekas), the king of Pajajaran, by his son, Raden Banyakwidhe. Raden Banyakwidhe, often named Siyung-wanara in other texts, entices his father to enter an iron cage that he has fashioned. The prince then has the cage cast into the Krawang River. With this patricide Raden Banyakwidhe avenges his father's earlier attempt on his own life: just after the prince's birth Prabu Gondakusuma had set the infant prince to drift in the sea in order to avert a prophecy that Pajajaran would fall at the hands of Banyakwidhe (MS p. 41 ff.). Banyakwidhe, henceforth with the title Sri Maha Raja Sakti, then reigns over Pajajaran. The narrative continues with a history of the eastward flight of Raden Banyakwidhe's elder brother, Arya Tanduran (Raden Susuruh). Susuruh later returns westward and attacks his younger brother's kraton. Pajajaran is defeated. Then it is Maharaja Sakti who flees east to shelter with his father-in-law, Prabu Darmastuti, king of Pengging Salahtiga. Eventually Raden Susuruh also proceeds eastward again and founds the kingdom of Majapahit, over which he reigns with the title Prabu Bratana. Bratana invades and defeats Pengging Salahtiga; Maha Raja Sakti dies in battle. When Darmastuti (a.k.a. Handayaningrat) dies (muksa), he is succeeded by his son, Harya Bramastuti, who reigns with the title Prabu Brawa. Prabu Brawa moves the kraton to Bahrawi; his kingdom, now known as Pengging-Ambarawa, is a vassal state of Majapahit. After Prabu Brawa dies (in battle against a hermit of Mt. Pragota), he is succeeded by his son Prabu Brahmanaraja. This volume includes the story of Ajar Suwida, the hermit of Mt. Kombang. The hermit priest had earlier been the Pajajaran princess, Retna Suwida, a daughter of Prabu Mundhingsari. Because of her incestuous love for her own brother, the god Naraddha transformed her into a man and placed her/him on Mount Kombang. Ajar Suwida is the one who instructs R.

The first Brawijaya is succeeded by his daughter, Dewi Subasiti; she reigns as queen with the title Ratu Ayu. Prabu Menak Jingga of Blambangan courts Ratu Ayu.

Pustaka Raja Puwara: Sri Pamekas IV, dumugi ing Pengging Kadhatengan Mengsah saking Bumeyo, Winastan Kintaka Mahakara = Pustaka Raja Wasana
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Javanese history, early fifteenth century (lunar years 1363-76). Prose. Volume focuses on the history of the kingdom of Majapahit (Tanoyo, p. 23-24, no. 78). The narrative features relations between the kingdom of Majapahit and its vassal, the kingdom Pajang-Pengging in Central Java. While heavily weighting the role of Pajang-Pengging's king, Prabu Handayaningrat VIII, in the expansion of the Majapahit empire (see especially p. 440 ff.), the text also treats the fixation on the unification of Java that drives Majapahit's king, Brawijaya V. The royal houses of Majapahit and Pengging are united through marriage when Handayaningrat VIII marries Brawijaya's daughter Retna Pembayun (MS p. 565 ff.). Also treated in this volume is the marriage of Brawijaya V to a Chinese princess (MS p. 400 ff.). Later, owing to the jealousy of Brawijaya's other queen (the Cham princess), the then pregnant Chinese princess is sent to off to Sumatra where she is given in marriage to Harya Damar, one of her step-sons. Harya Damar is the half-Javanese, half-demon ruler of the newly pacified kingdom of Palembang. There, the cast-off Chinese princess gives birth to Brawijaya's son, Raden Praba (later known as Raden Patah, the first Sultan of Demak) (MS p. 607 ff.). Volume tells of the arrival of the first Islamic missionaries to Majapahit. The missionaries come from Arabia, via Cempa, Cambodia, and Sumatra; they are related to the Cham princess who has become Brawijaya V's queen (see MS p. 331 ff. and 616 ff.). This volume includes the tale of Jaka Tarub and his marriage to the heavenly nymph, Dewi Nawangwulan (MS p. 145 ff.). The volume includes passages that deal with keris lore and keris making, notably tales of the famous smith, R. Jaka Sura (MS p. 35 ff.) as well as a passage purporting to relate the origins of the srimpi dance (MS p. 590 ff.; see also MS p. 640). Karaton Surakarta Kadipaten script.

ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Javanese history, late fifteenth through mid sixteenth centuries (lunar years 1420-98). Prose. Volume features the founding of Demak and the fall of Majapahit. Volume opens with the erection of the sacred mosque of Demak; the mosque is constructed by the wali who brought Islam to Java (the construction is dated 1420 candra). Having migrated to Java from Palembang, Raden Patah, the son of Brawijaya and the Chinese princess, is installed by his father as the Adipati of Bintara (Demak). The wali grant him the title senapati Jimbun, and with their support, he and his allies attack and defeat Majapahit (MS p. 180). Brawijaya escapes and flees to the west; he dies at Saparhuru to the south of Ardi Sewu. Senapati Jimbun finds his father's body and buries it in Demak. For forty days Sunan Giri Kadhaton (Sunan Giri II) reigns as (temporary) ruler of Demak. At the end of the forty-day period, the wali install senapati Jimbun as the first Sultan of Demak with the title Sultan Syah Alam Akbar. Upon the death of Demak's first sultan, he is succeeded by his son, Pangeran Adipati Sabrang Ler whom the wali install as Sultan Demak II. When Sultan Demak II dies, the wali install his younger brother, R. Trenggana, as Sultan Demak III. With the death of Sultan Demak III, the pusaka (sacred regalia) are all taken by the wali lord Ratu Tunggul (that is, Sunan Giri III) to Giri. Because he wields the pusaka, Ratu Tunggal wields authority over Demak (and hence, over all Java). Adipati Pajang (a.k.a. Jaka Tingkir), Sultan Demak III's son-in-law, is granted authority to rule the outer realms. Sunan Kudus, now recognized as the most senior of the wali, acts as guardian to the royal family of Demak (Tanoyo, pp. 24-25, no. 79).

Serat Karimataya
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Poetic rendition by Ronggawarsita's son, R.M. Panji Yasakusuma, of his father's Pustaka Raja Purwa (solar years 733-50). Macapat verse, in 57 cantos. Poem opens in Dhangdhanggula: "Purwaning kang duk nitra kinteki, wiandara sekar maduretna, pan ing nguni panulate." Taking place in the aftermath of the Pandhawa's victory in the Bratayuda war, the narrative tells of Prabu Yudhisthira's reign as king of Ngastina. When Yudhisthira retires from the throne, he is succeeded by his grand-nephew, Sang Parikesit (the son of Abimanyu and grandson of Arjuna). Parikesit reigns with the title of Prabu Dipayana. Following Parikesit's succession, the five Pandhawa enter into enlightened death, or release (muksa) (Tanoyo, p. 47, no. 126a). Compare text with MN 131. Authorship established by reading an acrostic signature, or sandiasrna, in the poem's second verse. Drewes suggest 1856 as the date of the poem's composition (Drewes, "Ranggawarsita, the Pustaka Raja Madya and the Wayang Madya," Oriens Extremus 21 [1974], p. 213). See, however, MN 130B which is dated February 1857. This copy is dated 2 Dulka'idah Jirnakir 1818; sangkala, "pangesthining [8] kalbu [1] saliranira [8] anyipta [1]" (1 July 1889). In the poem's opening verse is a curious sandiasrna for the (primary) scribe of the MS: "jadirsungun rnawi panti ... " which is meant to be read backwards: "Mangunsudi:rja." However, careful examination of the script and paper shows signs of erasure. The text originally read: "Yawirsungun rnawi" or, read backwards: "Mangunsuwirya." Compare this hand (p. 1 and 171-367) with other Mangunsuwiryan MSS (i.e., MN 19, 22, 122, 124). Cursive Surakarta script. This volume is written in at least two hands. MS initial page, on which the copy date is found, and pp. 171-367 are in the hand of Mangunsuwirya. MS leaves numbered 1-367; p. 12 numbered "11," p. 11 not numbered, no p.# 88, p.#s 144-47, 347 x 2.

Jayengrana), king of Jenggala, to compile the dynastic history of Java.

Serat Tejalengkara Purwaka
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
A rendering in macapat verse of a portion of Ronggawarsita's Pustaka Raja Madya (ca. surya 1068) by his son, R. Ng. Sontadikara. The text focuses on the adventures of R. Subrata, the son of Prabu Jayalengkara, king of Purwacarita. Having gone into the service of Prabu Tejalengkara, king of Majapura, Subrata invades Banakeling and defeats the armies of its ruler, Adipati Lembu Suranggana. Upon his return to Majapura, Subrata is rewarded for his service. Prabu Tejalengkara installs him as ruler over Banakeling, granting him the status of priest-king and the title of Resi Gathayu (Tanoyo, p. 55, no. 139). This poem was commissioned by Mangkunagara IV (see canto I, stanza 3) and therefore predates Sontadikara's Jayalengkara Pamriyan, a work that the author composed in 1881/82 by commission of Prangwadana V, Mangkunagara IV's son and successor. The later work (MN 132 Series) treats, in a much more involved manner, the same time period as does the present MS. Attribution of authorship established by a sandiasma embedded in the opening stanzas of the poem; the sandiasma reads: "Raden Ngabehi Sontadikara, Sutanira Sang Ronggawarsita." The poem's initial stanza: Rarimbaganing tyas manulad sri, denira met talitining kuna, ngalab bebet bubukane, bela pangikedipun, irip-irip wimbaning kawi, sondarseng kabudayan, taruntuning kayun, dinadar karya la-ela, lalmulane kithal tan paja ngemperi, raroncening ngukara (emphasis added). At volume's end, the text of the poem breaks off mid-line. There are apparently no further volumes of Sontadikara's Tejalenglalra in the Reksa Pustaka collection. There seem to be an indeterminate number of pages missing between MS pp. 228 and 229. Karaton Surakarta Kadipaten script. Compare the text of this MS with SOAS MS. 231975 (Ricklefs and Voorhoeve, Indonesian Manuscripts in Great Britain, p. 89).

ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
A rendering in macapat verse of a portion of Ronggawarsita's Pustalal Raja Madya (solar years 1070-82) by his son, R. Ng. Sontadikara. The text focuses on the adventures of Pajang-Pengging's legendary king, Maha Prabu Darmaraja (a.k.a. Maha Prabu Kalana Tunjungseta), who ruled over the western realms from his kraton in Bojanagara. The poem also treats the history of the eastern realms, whose preeminent rulers at that time reigned in Majapura. They were Maha Prabu Tejalengkara and his son and successor, Prabu Tejangkara. Also treated are the adventures of Resi Gathayu, the Priest-King of Jenggala. Resi Gathayu's son, Raden Dewakusuma (the future Prabu Lembu Amiluhur) enters the bride contest (sayembara) of Majapura and wins the hand in marriage of Tejalengkara's daughter, Dewi Tejaswara (the future mother R. Panji Hina Kertapati) (Tanoyo, p. 55, no. 140). The poem was commissioned by Mangkunagara IV. Attribution of authorship established by a sandiasma embedded in the opening stanza of the poem; the sandiasma reads: "Dyan Angabehi Sontadikara." The poem's initial two stanzas: Dyan manambung kata kang kaesthi, amusthi reh ing krama sarkara, ngamongka marsudi mangreh, be saneng tyas lir ngayuh, ima wanu tondhaning kapti, sonyartireng wigyanta, talitining kawruh, dinaya naring sukmaka, lalwenging ning tyas andon ulun murwani, rawi nata suraya.

Rendering in macapat verse of a portion of Ronggawarsita's Pustaka Raja Madya (early 12th c. solar). Panji tales. History of the Four Kingdoms: Jenggala, Kedhiri, Ngurawan, and Singasari. Poem was commissioned by Mangkunagara IV and is dated 5 Dulkijah Je 1806 (11 December 1877). In this volume Prabu Lembu Amiluhur of Jenggala comes forth to settle the dispute between his grandsons, R. Jaka Semawung and R. Laleyan; the princes are arguing over which of them deserves credit for Panji Anom's rescue. But the audience is interrupted by the attack of Kalana Prabu Jaka and Prabu Brahmakestu (the sons of Brahmana Kandha and Brahmana Sakti respectively). Prabu Brahmakestu falls to R. Panji Anom. R. Panji Kasatriyan orders his sons R. Jaka Semawung and R. Laleyan to combat; whichever of them defeats Sri Kalana Prabu Jaka will be rewarded with the keris Kyai Kalamisani. In the ensuing battle, R. Jaka Semawung is killed by Sri Kalana Prabu Jaka. R. Laleyan avenges his brother's death, killing Kalana Prabu Jaka. Then Brahmana Kandha together with Prabu Brakumara of Makasar attack Kedhiri. They are joined by Prabu Mandrasaraba of Siyem and Prabu Kalana Sakti Anjayengsantanu before all fall back to Mt. Jembangan. The troops of Jenggala (aside from Panji Kasatriyan who remains in Kedhiri) return home. Brahmana Kandha then goes to Limaya and kidnaps Dewi Rondhonsari. Panji Kasatriyan is then heartbroken when he arrives in Limaya and finds her gone. He makes for Mt. Jembangan, where he kills Brahmana Kandha. Meanwhile, Dewi Cindaga, already distraught that Panji Kasatriyan had sent her back to Ngurawan, is now doubly aggrieved with the death of her son, Jaka Semawung. She does ascetic practice in Setra Gandamayi, realm of the demonic goddess Bathari Durga. Chided by Durga, Cindhaga departs and meets Panji Kasatriyan as he makes his way from Mt. Jembangan. She attacks him; in the course of their battle she is cast into a ravine where she dies (vanishing body and soul as she regains her original form as the heavenly nymph Dewi Gagarmayang). Panji Kasatriyan continues on his way. Along the way, Panji Kasatriyan meets his father-in-law, Prabu Lembu Amijaya, along with all Panji's surviving wives. Together they return to Jenggala. Upon the arrival of this company in Jenggala, Prabu Lembuamiluhur installs Panji Kasatriyan as king; he is granted the title Prabu Panji Suryawisesa. At the same time R. Gunungsari is installed king of Kedhiri; he is granted the title Prabu Suryaamijaya. The two elder kings (Begawan Lembu Amiluhur and Begawan Lembu Amijaya) retire to the hermitage. There the retired kings are tormented by the demon armies of Prabu Badrakala. Panji Suryawisesa and Prabu Suryaamijaya follow their fathers to the hermitage (Tanoyo, pp. 60-61, no. 147).

Serat Manikmaya = Babad Tanah Jawi
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
A history of Java in macapat verse: from the Creation of the universe to the supernatural disappearance of human life from Java. Volume opens in Dhangdhanggula: "Bismillahi rahkemani rahim, maknanipun kang rapal bismillah, peksi sarkara tembange, mimitya maos ulun, sarta lawan pitulung widdhi." Beginning with Allah's act of divine Creation, the text continues through the history of the left-hand descendants of Adam and Kawa (Eve): the Javano-Hindu deities and the early human kings of Java. In this genealogical history of Java, human time is divided into ages. The first age, the Kartayoga commences with the creation of the gods Manik and Maya, and Bathara Manik's divine rule over Java. The first human king of Java is Prabu Makukuhan, an incarnation of the god Wisnu; he rules from his kraton in Medhang-kamulan. After Makukuhan's death (muksa), the first age ends, and the humans on Java are transformed into spirits. The second age, the Tirtayoga, covers the purwa cycle of the wayang repertoire. Sang Manumanasa is sent by the gods to generate a new race of humans on Java. Among Manumanasa's descendants are the Pandhawa and Kurawa princes. After the cataclysmic Bratayuda war, Parikesit, a grandson of the Pandhawa prince Arjuna, reigns as king of Java. Parikesit numbers among his descendants Prabu Watugunung of Tenggilingwesi. When Watugunung is killed by a son of the god Wisnu named Raden Srigati, the gods install Srigati as king of Java. He reigns from Mendhang-agung (or Purwacarita). Finally the god Naraddha gathers up all the humans on Java and transforms them into spirits, thus ending the second age (Tanoyo, pp. 72-73, no. 165). Compare text with MN 184.
Serat Manikmaya: Wiwit Prabu Sindhula ing Purwacarita dumugi Jaka Suruh ing Majapahit = Babad Tanah Jawi
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
A history of Java in macapat verse: from the supernatural reappearance of human life on Java to the time of Brawijaya I of Majapahit. The human population of Java is once again reinstated, this time through the mystical powers of [Islamic] emissaries from Rum (Turkey). The ensuing age is called the Kitrah Age. The gods fetch Watugunung's son from the Terusan Cave where he has been performing asceticism to become Java's king. They install this prince, R. Sindhula, as king in Purwacarita. Upon Sindhula's death (muksa), his son (the cruel Prabu Dewatacengkar) succeeds to the throne, and reigns in Mendhang-pramesan. At the dawn of the next age, the Dupara Age, Aji Saka, a companion of the Prophet Mohammad, makes his way to Java; he kills the evil Dewatacengkar and then succeeds him as king. Upon Aji Saka's death, R. Daneswara (Dewatacengkar's son) becomes king of Mendhang. Called Raja Kaskaya and Sri Maha Punggung, he is the ancestor of all the subsequent kings of Java. Among his descendants is Prabu Banjaransari of Galuh. The volume continues through the stories of Banjaransari's great-grandsons: R. Jaka Siyung-wanara of Pajajaran and R. Jaka Susuruh, founder of the kingdom of Majapahit (Tanoyo, p. 73, no. 166). Compare text with MN 184.
Serat Manikmaya = Babad Tanah Jawi
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
A history of Java in macapat verse, from the time of Brawijaya I of Majapahit to the establishment of Mataram (Ki Ageng Mataram). Beginning with the history of Prabu Brawijaya I, founder of the kingdom of Majapahit, the text continues through the reigns of his son, Brawijaya II, and grandson, Brawijaya III. Next told is the history of Java's Islamization: from the coming of saints (wali) to Java through the fall of Majapahit's kraton to Senapati Jimbun, the Adipati of Demak. Text continues with Demak history, through the reign of Jimbun's sons, Pangeran Sabrang Ler and R. Trenggana as sultans of Demak. During Trenggana's reign, the youth Jaka Tingkir, a son of the late Kyai Ageng Pengging (hence great-grandson of the last Brawijaya) rises to power through his military prowess. Marrying Sultan Trenggana's daughter, Tingkir is made the Adipati of Pajang. Upon Trenggana's death, Adipati Pajang succeeds as the supreme political power of Java. Text continues through Adipati Pajang's struggle against Harya Panangsang; Panangsang's defeat by the forces and wiles of Ki Pamanahan; and Sunan Giri's confirmation of Sultan Pajang's kingship. Finally Ki Pamanahan moves with his kinsmen to Mataram, from whence, it is prophesied, his descendants will rule over all Java (Tanoyo, pp. 73-74, no. 167).

ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
A history of Mataram (ca. 1570-ca. 1590): Ki Ageng Pamanahan to Panembahan Senapati. Macapat verse. Volume opens in Dhangdhanggula: "Rarangkulan saha waspa mijil, kalihira kang rayi kang raka, Raden Ngabehi delinge." Narrative opens with Ki Ageng Pamanahan's move to the forest of Mataram. Establishing himself there, he is henceforth known as Ki Ageng Mataram. Adipati Pajang travels to Giri where his kingship is confirmed by Sunan Giri. Ki Ageng Mataram dies and is succeeded by his son, R. Ng. Saloring Pasar (the adoptive son of Sultan Pajang). The Sultan grants the youth the name: Senapati Ingalaga Sayidin Panatagama. When Sultan Pajang dies Sunan Kudus installs the late Sultan's son-in-law, the Adipati of Demak, as king in Pajang. Sultan Pajang's son, Pangeran Benawa joins forces with Senapati Ngalaga and revolts. Pajang falls to Senapati, who sends the Adipati of Demak back to Demak and installs Pangeran Benawa as king in Pajang. Henceforth Senapati reigns as king in Mataram with the royal title of Kangjeng Panembahan. Senapati conquers the eastern territories of Java (Madiun, Pasuruhan, Kadhiri and Rawadalem). Senapati erects a walled kraton in Mataram (Tanoyo, pp. 74-75, no. 168). Vol. I of this Babad Mataram series is apparently missing from the Reksa Pustaka manuscript collection.

Volume opens in Dhangdhanggula: "Ri sampuning mangkana wadya lit, pinangarahan samya akarya, bata bang myang bata puteh." Beginning with Senapati's erection of his walled kraton in Mataram, the narrative continues through Mataram's defeat of an invasion force led by the Adipati of East Java and the battle of Pathi. Senapati dies and is succeeded by his son (Panembahan Seda Krapyak), during whose reign a revolt in Demak is put down. Upon Seda Krapyak's death, his son, Pangeran Martapura, reigns only momentarily, and then Martapura's elder brother, Pangeran Rangsang, ascends the throne. It is he who will reign as Prabu Pandhita Nyakrakusuma (a.k.a. Kangjeng Sultan Agung). Under Agung's suzerainty, Mataram's armies rage over all Java, conquering most of the east and central portions of the island. His forces fail to defeat the Dutch in Batavia, however. Sultan Agung is succeeded by his son, Pangeran Harya Mataram, who reigns as Kangjeng Susuhunan Amangkurat [I]. The new king moves the kraton to Plered. A cruel ruler, Amangkurat is opposed by his own son who plots with the Madurese prince, R. Trunajaya. Warriors fleeing from Makasar join forces with Trunajaya (see Tanoyo, pp. 75-77, no. 169).

Trunajaya, in alliance with Kraeng Glengsong of Makasar, musters his troops in Surabaya. Trunajaya assumes the title Panembahan Maduretna Panatagama. The kraton of Mataram in Plered falls to the forces of Trunajaya. Amangkurat I flees westward with his two sons, the crown prince (who had been Trunajaya's secret co-conspirator) and P. Puger. While Puger is sent back to fight for Mataram, the king and crown prince continue their flight. The refugee Amangkurat I dies in Tegal. Meanwhile, Puger has established himself as king in Mataram, reigning over the ravaged palace with the title Sunan Ngalaga. The crown prince, inspired to make his bid for power, sends emissaries to Batavia to request Dutch aid. The crown prince is installed as Amangkurat II with Dutch assistance. The new king and his Dutch allies do battle in East Java and eventually defeat Trunajaya. Amangkurat II returns to Central Java where he and his Dutch allies establish a new kraton in Kartasura. Sunan Ngalaga (P. Puger), who, it is said, takes Amangkurat II to be a Dutch admiral, is eventually pacified by his elder brother. The latter portion of this volume includes the history of Untung Surapati (in Batavia, Kartasura, and Pasuruhan) (See Tanoyo, pp. 77-78, no. 170). Paper is mildewed.

Serat Ajisaka Ngejawi = Serat Babad TanahJawi
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
A history of Java in macapat verse, beginning in classical times with the arrival of Ajisaka in Java, extending through the establishment of the kingdom of Majapahit. Poem open in Sinom: "Ri kala anedhak, Srat Ajisaka Ngajawi, Dite Manis kaping rolas." Narrative begins with the reign of Prabu Sindhula, the legendary king of classical Galuh. When Sindhula vanishes together with his kraton, his evil son, Prabu Dewatacengkar, succeeds as king of Java. Dewatacengkar is then defeated by the foreign colonial Ajisaka, who subsequently reigns as king in Mendhang-kamulan. When Ajisaka dies (muksa), he is succeeded by Dewatacengkar's son, Raja Daneswara (a.k.a. Sri Mapunggung), who reigns in Mendhang-pramesan until his death (muksa). Daneswara's son, Sri Kandhiawan (the ancestor of all subsequent Javanese kings), succeeds to his father's throne. Among his descendants is Prabu Banjaransari of Jenggala. When Banjaransari's kraton in Jenggala is destroyed, he flees westward and establishes his new kraton in Galuh, where he reigns as Bathara Dewaji. After him, his descendants rule in orderly succession, from generation to generation: Sri Dewata Harya Bangah, to Sri Mundhingwangi, to Prabu Nyakrawati (Pajajaran), to Siyung-wanara (Pajajaran), and finally to R. Susuruh (Majapahit) (Tanoyo, p. 82, no. 180). See also Pigeaud, Literature of Java, vol. I, pp. 142-43.

Serat Babad Sigaluh dumugi Babad Mataram
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
A history of Java (ca. 1200s-1600): Banjaransari-Galuh to Panembahan Senapati-Mataram. Macapat verse. Volume opens in Mijil: "Sekar Mijil ingkang kinarya wit, gancaring cariyos, ing nalika wiwit pan urate, apanuju ari Senen Legi, ping lima marengi, Pasa wulanipun." History opens with the reign of Prabu Banjaransari, first in Koripan and then in Galuh. When the old king Banjaransari is transformed into a god, he is succeeded by his son, Prabu Anom Wanagada. Wanagada moves to Batawiyah-Jakarta. Banjaransari's younger son, Prabu Anom Harjakusuma founds the kingdom of Pajajaran. Volume treats Pajajaran history through the reigns of Harjakusuma, Mundhingsari, Mundhingwangi, Sri Ciliawan, and Siyungwanara (a.k.a. Banyakwidhe). Sri Ciliawan's elder son, Raden Jaka Susuruh, founds the kingdom of Majapahit. This history includes the unusual tale of Siyungwanara's attempt to form an alliance with Medinah. When he meets with no success in this attempt, Siyungwanara turns to ascetic practice on the mountain top; there, cursed by the gods, he is transformed into a turtledove. The narrative also includes an account of the coming of the Europeans to Java with a history of the arrival in Jakarta of Mur Jangkung (that is, Jan Pieterszoon Coen). Brawijaya of Majapahit (ne R. Susuruh) dies and is succeeded by his son, Sang Prabu Anom. Prabu Anom, reigning as Brawijaya, is murdered; he is succeeded by Grand Vizier Gajah Mada's son, Sang Udara. Then Udara is murdered in tum; his murderer is Brawijaya-Prabu Anom's son, Raden Murdaningkung. Murdaningkung then takes the throne. Upon his death, he is succeeded by his son, R. Lembu Amisani, (a.k.a. Maha Prabu Brawijaya). When this Brawijaya dies, his son succeeds to the throne, where he reigns as Prabu Brakumara until the gods transform him into the spirit king of the Ketangga forest. Brakumara's son then succeeds as king of Majapahit. This son, Prabu Anom Angkawijaya, reigns as the last Brawijaya. It is during the last Brawijaya's reign that the wali (saints) introduce Islam to Java. These wali incite Brawijaya's son, Adipati Bintara (i.e., Demak) to revolt. Majapahit's kraton falls, and supreme political power in Java devolves upon the wali. Adipati Bintara is installed by the wali as the first Sultan of Dernak. The history then continues with a focus on Demak through the reigns of the first Sultan's two sons and successors (Sabrang Ler and Trenggana). Sultan Trenggana's reign, Jaka Tmgkir, a son of the rural leader Ki Ageng Pengging and a great-grandson of the last Brawijaya, rises to power. He establishes the kingdom of Pajang. His reign is marked by strife with Arya Panangsang of Jipang, a son of (the murdered) Sabrang Ler. Sultan Pajang's faithful courtiers, Ki Ageng Pamanahan and Ki Penjawi, defeat Arya Panangsang. Penjawi is rewarded with the territory of Pathi; Pamanahan, with the territory of Mataram. Pamanahan's son, senapati Ingalaga, is adopted by Sultan Pajang. This son then resists the overlordship Pajang and sets up the independent realm of Mataram. 5enapati consolidates his power and pursues campaigns of military conquest in East Java (Tanoyo, pp. 101-3, no. 197). MS dated 5 Pasa Dal 1839 (20 September 1909). Cursive Surakarta script. MS has been transliterated (MN 204 TT).

Babad Mangkunagaran Jaman Karaton Kartasura
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
A history of Kartasura (1742-45): Pacinan history. Focus of the text is upon RM. Sahid (P.A.A. Mangkunagara I), founder of the Mangkunagaran dynasty. Macapat verse. Volume opens in Sinom: "Sang nata anulya mangkat, lajeng dhumateng Mentawis." Canto II (in Pangkur) begins: "Yata wau kang kocapa, kang abaris Ngayogya kang winarni." Canto III (in Asmarandana) begins: "Dalu gennya ukih-ingukih, wadya Cina binendrong senjata." History opens in the period after the retreat of the forces of Sunan Mas Prabu Kuning from the Kartasura to Randhulawang, Laroh. At this time, Pakubuwana II's nephew, R. Suryakusuma (that is, R.M. Sahid), leaves the kraton and makes for the district of Laroh, where he joins forces with Sunan Mas Prabu Kuning. Suryakusuma is promoted and granted the name, Pangeran Prangwedana. Soon installed as commander, the prince is awarded yet another new name, P.H. Mangkunagara. After Sunan Kuning's defeat, Mangkunagara flees eastward in his company. When they reach Caruban, Mangkunagara stops and turns back for Sukawati. Sunan Kuning continues eastward, finally surrendering to the Dutch in Surabaya. Mangkunagara remains in rebellion. By this time he is called P. Adipati Mangkunagara. Panembahan Puger brings word to Mangkunagara that Pangeran Cakraningrat of Sampang is willing to join forces with him; Puger also tries to persuade Pakubuwana II's younger brother, Pangeran Mangkubumi, to revolt. Mangkubumi comes to Sukawati; but instead of joining forces with the rebels, he fights and defeats Puger. Meanwhile, Mangkunagara has been encamped in Sidayu. He shelters the fleeing Puger and is installed by his new Madurese allies as Susuhunan Adiprakosa. He continues his rebellion. At volume's end Mangkunagara (Adiprakosa) is camped on the southern slope of Mt. Gajahmungkur. Pangeran Mangkubumi, meanwhile, has returned to Kartasura. The king, Pakubuwana II, then moves his kraton to Surakarta (Tanoyo, pp. 109-10, no. 214). The account of the move of the kraton provided by this text differs significantly from the conventional one. In this variant text, the Dutch force Pakubuwana II, against his will, to make the historic move to Surakarta (see text's final canto in Asmarandana metre). A faded note on p. iii reads: "punika dina Selasa Pahing tanggal ping ... sasi Dulkangi ... Punika ingkang gadhah serat Den Mas Kusrim." A difficult (rustic?) script, perhaps from Surakarta. The inscription appears to date from the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century. Ponorogo bark paper. MS leaves double-page numbered 1-153. MS was transliterated into Latin longhand script in 1985-86 by R. Ng. Mulyadi Mulyohutomo.

Suryakusuma is promoted and granted the name, Pangeran Prangwedana. Soon installed as commander, the prince is awarded yet another new name, P.H. Mangkunagara. After Sunan Kuning's defeat, Mangkunagara flees eastward in his company. When they reach Caruban, Mangkunagara stops and turns back for Sukawati. Sunan Kuning continues eastward, finally surrendering to the Dutch in Surabaya. Mangkunagara remains in rebellion. By this time he is called P. Adipati. Panembahan Puger brings word to Mangkunagara that P. Cakraningrat of Sampang is willing to join forces with him; Puger also tries to persuade P. Mangkubumi to revolt. Mangkubumi comes to Sukawati, but instead of joining forces with the rebels, he fights and defeats Puger. Meanwhile Mangkunagara has been encamped in Sidayu. He shelters the fleeing Puger and is installed by his new Madurese allies as Susuhunan Adiprakosa. He continues his rebellion. P. Mangkubumi, meanwhile, has returned to Kartasura. The king, Pakubuwana II, then moves his kraton to Surakarta. Pakubuwana II sends Mangkubumi to meet the forces of P. Mangkunagara which are advancing on Mataram. Mangkunagara is defeated and retreats to Panambangan in Laroh district. Mangkubumi returns to Kartasura. When Pakubuwana II negotiates a new treaty with the Dutch Governor General that is detrimental both to the interests of the Javanese court and to Mangkubumi personally, Mangkubumi revolts.

ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
A history of the life of Prangwadana VII from his birth on 12 November 1885, to March 1924. Macapat verse. Poem opens is sinom: "Rarasing gita sri nata." Date of composition is said to be Dite Manis, 7 Puwasa Alip 1851 (15 May 1921); see MS p. 2, MN 229A, and notes below. The author, R. Ng. Citrasantana, was a teacher in the Mangkunagaran school, Pamulangan Siswa Rini. In his introduction, the author states that it was his own decision to compose the poem. Citrasantana goes on to explain his writing style and to identify as the sources for this biography: Reksa Pustaka books, interviews, and his own memories. Compare and contrast this introduction with that to MN 229A, first volume of a working draft for this poem. I noted above that the author claims to have composed this history in 1921 (this is consistent with the date of his working draft). But insofar as the present MS treats events up to March 1924 and the introduction mentions "Mangkunagara VII" (a title the prince did not attain until September 1924), this version of the history could not have been written earlier than September 1924. Script is in the difficult cursive hand of Citrasantana. MS leaves numbered 1-906; page following p.# 1 not numbered. MS has been transliterated (MN 230TT).

See Simuh, Mistik Islam Kejawen Raden Ngabehi Ranggawarsita: Suatu Studi terhadap Serat Wirid Hidayat Jati (Jakarta: Penerbit Universitas Indonesia, 1988). Determination of MS authorship is problematic. On MS p. 3 authorship is attributed to Kyai Ageng Mukhamad Sirullah of Kedhung Kol, Surakarta.

The pujongga Ronggawarsita also resided in Kedhung Kol, Surakarta. Perhaps Muhkamad Sirullah was Ronggawarsita's pupil; or perhaps the present MS is a copy of a Muhkamad Sirullah copy of a Ronggawarsita original. See also MN 312.

Serat Suluk Gatholoco
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Javano-Islamic mystic song in macapat verse: four cantos. Poem opens in Dhangdhanggula: "Kalinyamat genira anulis, ri Salasa Pahing ingkang tompa."

Bratayuda Sekar Ageng = Bratayuda Kawi Miring
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Literary translation of the Old Javanese Kekawin Bharatayudha, a chronicle of the great war between the Pandhawa and Kurawa princes. The translation is rendered in Modem Javanese language and Kawi Miring (sekar ageng) metres. The poem opens: "Yeksa tata swareng rat, sangkala duk manitra, ri kanang mangutus jeng nareswaratmaja, lagunireng kakawin, rikang basa jarwa, nyaritaken prangira, Pandhawa Ian Kurawa, nenggih sira prabu ing Kadhiri jumeneng, Jayabaya nerpati, ing nguni kangyasa." The original kekawin was composed by Empu Sedhah and Empu Panuluh for their royal patron, King Jayabaya of Kedhiri; composition of the text began in AD 1157. On the kekawin, see Zoetmulder, Kalangwan, pp. 256-63 and 269-83. This Modem Javanese rendering of the text in archaized kawi miring metres was commissioned by the "son of the king" (nareswaratma ), presumably of Surakarta. The patron was, then, the future Pakubuwana V (r. 1820-23), and the commission was probably in the early years of the nineteenth century. The present MS is dated AJ 1755 (1827 /8) by the sangkala: "yeksa [5] tata [5] swareng [7] rat [1]." It should be noted that the conclusion of this early nineteenth-century version diverges significantly from the kekawin original. Perhaps inscribing the desires of the Surakarta crown prince, whose rivalry with his long-reigning father Pakubuwana IV are well known, the final stanzas of this version write of King Jayabaya's transfer of authority to his son. The old king upon whose commission the poem had been composed retires to meditative practice and to caring for his women; his son assumes rule over the realm (see MS pp. 460-61). Quadratic Karaton Surakarta script. Watermark: "J.P. Glaus & Zoon." On MS p. ii, is the seal of "C. F. Winter." A marginal note on MS p. i notes that the volume was loaned to "R Sujana (?), Yogya." MS leaves numbered 1-461; no. p.# 40, 50; p.# 132, 430 x 3; 2 pp. following p.# 154, 274, 414 not numbered.

[Serat Jayalengkara Wulang Sekar Ageng]
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
The ancient Jayalengkara Wulang tale rendered in kawi miring metres and modern literary Javanese. Adventures of the wandering princes of Sunyawibawa in search of secular and religious knowledge. The text includes lengthy passages on statecraft and on the duties of kingship. The text opens: "Awignamastu namasiddhi. Purwaning reh, ri ulun lumaksana ag[nya]nta sang, nareswaratmeng Jawi Kangjeng Pangran Adipati Taruna, Amangkunagara rikang jujuluk. Sudibya Rajaputra Ngaksigonda, sadaleming prajadi Surakarta, raja sinatriyambek maharjeng rat, singlar saking pakarti duskarteng ngrat. .. " Poerbaljaraka suggests that the tale originated in Palembang (lndonesische Handschriften, pp. 17-25). The present version of the poem was commissioned by the crown prince of Surakarta (the future Pakubuwana V, r. 1820-23). The poem is composed in the style of the Karaton Surakarta pujongga R. Ng. Yasadipura II; the hand, too, appears to belong to Yasadipura II. Compare the hand of this MS with Yasadipura II autographs (MN 361, MN 479). The MS/version was begun on 14 Rabingulakir Dal 1735 (9 June 1808), sangkala: "tata [5] lir [3] gora [7] rupa [1]" and completed on 27 Saban, apparently of the same year (18 October 1808). There is, however, an apparent sangkala at poem's end that would suggest a rather earlier date of composition, perhaps by the elder Yasadipura. The apparent sangkala is: "sudira [1] tan [0] darakeng [7?; 6?] rat [1]" (AJ 1701 = AD 1775/6; AJ 1601 = AD 1678/9). This apparent sangkala could also refer to a prototype text upon which this kawi miring version is based. At one time MS belonged to the Surakarta Kapatihan. See note on MS p. i: "Serat kagungan-dalem ing Kapatiyan kang mandhireng ing Su[ra]karta Adiningrat." Text inscribed in a fine (Karaton) Surakarta script of the early nineteenth century.

A branch tale associated with the Menak Amir Hamza epic. Macapat verse. Poem opens in Durma: "Purwanipun Serat Rengganis punika." The text focuses on the romance of Dewi Rengganis and Pangeran Kelan (Menak's son). See Poerbatjaraka, Kapustakan Djawi, pp. 111-19, for synopsis of, and commentary on, the tale. Poerbatjaraka speculates that the original tale was composed during the Kartasura period (1680-1745), perhaps by Rongga Janur. See also MS p. i, for a concise precis of volume's contents. The precis is signed (signature indecipherable) and dated 10 September 1928. It was apparently made by a servant of the Mangkunagaran court who was reviewing the MS for his prince.

Serat Pranacitra dumugi Jaka Pangasih
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Historical romance set in seventeenth-century Mataram. Macapat verse. Text opens in Dhangdhanggula: "Purwaning reh sarkara kinapti, Sukra Wage salikur kang tanggal." The poem, in a form that could be characterized as "novelistic," treats two tales of romantic love, both of which are set in Mataram at the time of Sultan Agung (r. 1613-45). The first section of the poem (pp. 1-273) treats the ill-fated romance of Pranacitra and Lara Mendhut. Serat Pranacitra was published separately by C. F. Winter posthumously in 1888. The text of MS pp. 1-273 appears to correspond to the published version; for synopses of cantos see Pratelan I, pp. 361-65. The second section of the text (MS pp. 274-492) composing a sequel to Serat Pranacitra, treats the romance of R. Jaka Pangasih (son of the Patih of Mataram) and the village maiden Rara Sepranti. Authorship of both portions of the text are usually attributed to the Surakarta court poet Yasadipura II (Sastranagara), who was active in the early nineteenth century. However, in his article, "De Waarde van de Serat Djakapangasih" in Djawa XIII (1933) pp. 130-34, Sastrasoewignja doubts that attribution for the Jaka Pangasih portion of the text. On the basis of style and Surakarta oral traditions, he instead attributes authorship of the Jaka Pangasih to Pangeran Cakradiningrat, a grandson of Pakubuwana VII (sic) [that is V] and son-in-law of Pakubuwana VI. This MS is dated 21 Saban Je 1798 (26 November 1869), sangkala: "roga [8] trustha [9] caritengjanrni [1]." MS is in deplorable condition. Many of the leaves are in fragments that were repieced for filming.

Serat Wrettasancaya
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
The Kekawin Wrettasancaya (also called Cakrawiika Duta) forms a treatise on kekawin metres. The treatise is composed in the form of a romantic tale in which a duck carries the messages of a pining girl to her wayward lover. The poem was composed by Empu Tanakung, mid to late 15th c. See Zoetmulder, Kalangwan, pp. 104 ff. and Pigeaud, Literature of Java, vol. I, p. 189. A very cryptic copyist note on MS p. 14 reads: "Tlas sinurat, ring dina, su, ka, Watugunung, titi kresna paksa ri dasa mi, pongya [?]rna, sa, Isaka 1741. Rah, nga, tenggak." Drawn on the second line following "tenggak" is a serpentine figure that is reminiscent of the bujangga figure that the Pujongga Ronggawarsita used as part of his signature. Isaka 1741 would be 1819. If the text was inscribed by Ronggawarsita, the 1819 copy date is unlikely, however. Small Karaton Surakarta Kadipaten script; rather more rounded than Ronggawarsita's usual hand.
