Serat Sengkala Milir
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Compilation of three texts concerning the history of Java. 1. Pratelanipun menggah Namaning Jaman ing Nagari Jawi ingkang Sampun Kalampahan utawi kang Dereng Kalampahan (MS. pp. 1-2). Prophetic history of Java from its initial population by human beings (AJ 1) to Judgment Day (AJ 2100 [CE 2162]). Prose. 2. Serat Sejarah (MS. pp. 3-41). "Right" and "Left" genealogies of Central Javanese dynasts. The left genealogy traces the descent from the Prophet Adam, through the Hindu gods and the heroes of the wayang traditions, up to I.S.K.S. Pakubuwana VIII (r. 1858-1861). The right genealogy traces the descent from the Prophet Adam through the Islamic prophets up to I.S.K.S. Pakubuwana IX (r. 1861-1893). Prose. 3. Tetanging Sangkala Bumi: Babadipun ing Pula Jawata (MS. pp. 42-342). Sangkala (chronological) history of Java, with extensive narrative elaboration. Prose. The history opens in AJ 1, with the beginning of human civilization on Java via colonization from Rum (= Turkey), the island having previously been inhabited only by spirits and demons. The text proceeds through the wayang purwa and madya tales, with a focus on stories set in the ancient kingdom of Pengging. The final portion of the manuscript forms a chronologically-arranged series of dates and sangkala, with very little narrative. Final entries date the beginning of the revolt of Pangeran Dipanagara and his withdrawal to Silarong (1825). Cursive Surakarta script in a style dating from the turn of the twentieth century.
Serat Sangkala Kadhaton = Serat Babad Sangkala
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
History of Java with chronograms from the year AJ 1000 to AJ 1753 (CE 1078-1826). Macapat verse. Nine cantos. Poem is of Surakarta origin and focus; later portions of the text treat Karaton Surakarta history in some detail. The final portion of the text narrates the early days of the Dipanagara War (up to January 1826). The poem's initial canto, in Dhangdhanggula meter, comprises 371 verses; this long canto composes a sangkala history up to the beginning of the Daendels regime (1808). The initial canto opens, "Sangkala reke manira ngawi, sun angetang babading nagara, nusa Jawa sengkalane." With the second canto, the detail of the history markedly increases, explicitly moving from the form of sangkala history, to a record of "all the news that's fit to write" (sabarang tindak, kang patut dim serati). This canto, in Durma, begins, "Sinekaran Durma kang carita anyar." Final canto, in Pangkur, opens, "Matah wadana geng ngarsa." Text breaks off abruptly. Compare text with the opening portion of KS 1C.2 and with KS 1D. Present manuscript formerly belonged to R.M. Riya Prawirawinata, a grandson of Pakubuwana IV. Prawirawinata loaned the MS to his "elder brother," that is, his cousin, B.K.P.H. Kusumayuda (d. 1895), who was another of Pakubuwana IV's grandsons, on 29 Dulkangidah Ehe 1772 (9 December 1844). A short poem introducing the main text, apparently written by Prawirawinata or his cousin, is dated 4 Sura 1773 (13 January 1845); sangkala, "tri [3] sapta [7] swaraning [7] janmi [1]." See MS. pp. iii-iv. The manuscript's final pages comprise Serat Rupacondra, a "key" to reading sangkala (MS. pp. 133-35). Fine quadratic Karaton Surakarta script. Introductory pages in a hand different from that of the remainder of the MS.
Serat Tapel Adam: Babad Luhung
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Sacred history of Islam, from the Creation of the universe through the history of the Islamic prophets up to the fifteenth-century Islamization of Java. Macapat verse. 61 cantos. The narrative ends with the history of the East Javanese wali Sunan Giri during the last days of Majapahit. Opening lines of initial and concluding cantos: (1) Asmarandana, "Rarasing tyas ngasmarani." (2) Sinom, "Allah Tangala ngandika, dhateng Malekat Mingkahil." (3) Dhangdhanggula, "Sang ing uteg wedaling kang budi." The penultimate canto, in Pangkur, opens, "Sigra kang duta lumampah." Final canto, in Sinom, begins, "Nyai Gedhe Salabronta." The opening cantos appear to be derived from the Yasadipuran rendition of Serat Ambiya. Copy by R. Sastradiwirya "signed" and dated twice: first in a sandiasma at poem's beginning with the date of 23 Pasa Ehe 1860 (22 February 1930) and at the end, 29 Sawal Ehe 1860 (29 March 1930). "New" quadratic script, Surakarta. MS was purchased by the Radya Pustaka in 1943 (see notes on MS. p. ii).
Tapel Adam (Klempakan)
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
MS forms a compilation of three texts on Islamic topics; it was likely produced by C.F. Winter, Sr. (1799-1859), possibly in collaboration with the pujongga R.Ng. Ronggawarsita (1802-1873). MS. I: double-page numbered, 1-206 (pp. 23-24 single-page numbered, however); MS. II: single-page numbered, 1-84. Legibility of text is compromised by significant ink bleed-through; end portions of MS. I and most of MS. II are in deplorable condition and are largely illegible. Various hands: Karaton Surakarta Kadipaten and cursive Surakarta scripts. MS. I is possibly in the hands of the pujongga Ronggawarsita and C.F. Winter, Sr.; MS. II appears to be in Winter's hand. Tooled leather binding.
[Serat Ambiya]
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Sacred history of Islam: cosmogony and history of the Islamic prophets. The narrative opens with the tree of origin (sajaratul yakin) in the eternal moment prior to the Creation and continues up to the birth of the Prophet Muhammad. Macapat verse. Opening lines of initial and concluding cantos: (1) Dhandhanggula, "Sembahing ngulun kapurbeng gusti." (2) Sinom, "Cinarita ingkang surya." (3) Asmarandana, "Atmajeng jan jalu estri." (4) Pangkur, "Budhal tumurun mring dunya." The final canto opens in Asmarandana, "Tatkala lahir Jeng Nabi, Mukhamad dinil Mustapa." The poem is dated 1 Mukharam Jimakir, but the sangkala is obscure. MS. leaves are double-page numbered, except for I: 23-24, which are single-page numbered. Possible Ronggawarsita autograph.
[Serat Ambiya: Cariyos Nabi Muhammad]
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Sacred history of Islam: episode(s) from the life of the Prophet Muhammad. Macapat verse. Poem opens in Dhangdhanggula, "Kangjeng Rasul angandika aris, mring kang garwa Sang Siti Katijah, undangen Pratimah age." The narrative begins with the Prophet calling together his family to tell them that he has received his revelation (wahyu). In only the opening section remains legible; the following pages were in fragments. Narrative breaks off abruptly. This portion of the MS is inscribed in a cursive hand similar to that of C.F. Winter, Sr. The legibility suffers from severe iron-gall ink bleed-through; this portion of the MS has, for the most part, been reduced to fragments. Preceding the text is a brief note that reads: "Borong. Wus Islam agama mulya, gantya ingkang carita, yuswa sadasa tri taun, praptaning gerah lir binya."
[Serat Suluk Gontor]
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis

Poem is dated 18 Sawal Jimawal 1741 (4 October 1814); sangkala, "janma [1] catur [4] pandhita [7] tunggal [1]." Note: poem's ending stanza is identical to a portion of a wirid attributed to I.S.K.S. Pakubuwana VIII (r. 1858-1861); see RP 107, p. 31. Cursive Surakarta script. Hand is similar to that of C.F. Winter, Sr.

ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Sacred history of Islam: history of the Islamic prophets, from the Creation of the cosmos to the death of the Prophet Muhammad. Macapat verse.

Serat Ambiya Bahwi
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Opening with the Creation of the cosmos, the text forms a history of the Islamic prophets up to the time of Nabi Edris. Composed in prose, the text provides chronological notes. Prose rendering of R.Ng. Yasadipura's macapat Serat Ambiya (see RP 5). According to the introductory comments provided by present manuscript witness, Yasadipura II was still at the rank of Kliwon when he composed his verse rendition of the Ambiya. He did so upon commission of the crown prince of the Karaton Surakarta (later to reign as I.S.K.S. Pakubuwana V [r. 1820-23]). These introductory notes explain that the Yasadipuran version was rendered from Tepsir Bahwi, the Quranic interpretation of "Sultan Bahwi" (that is, the thirteenth-century Quranic scholar al-Baydawi); thus the title, Ambiya Bahwi. According to these notes, the narrative style of the Bahwi tafsir was far superior to that of the 15th-16th century Jelalen (Tafsir al-Jalalayn) one. Karaton Surakarta script (Kadipaten style) prevalent during the reign of I.S.K.S. Pakubuwana X (r. 1893-1939).
Serat Manikmaya
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
History of ancient Java (jaman purwa) from the Creation of the cosmos to the reign of Mangukuhan in Mendhangkamulan. Macapat verse. The history was composed upon commission of Pakubuwana VII (1830-1858) and was expressly meant to fuse the "right" (Islamic) and "left" (Indic) genealogical histories of Javanese kings. The historical narrative, which opens with the Prophet Adam, breaks off abruptly in the midst of Sri Mangukuhan's legendary struggle against the crop-destroying children of Puthut Jataka (that is, the mythic history of the origin of agricultural pests). Opening lines of initial cantos: (1) "Giyuhing tyas dennya mnh mamsmg, wasita geng-geng ingkang kagungan ..." (2) Asmarandana, "Ngandika kang maha suci." (3) Pucung, "Ingkang nurunaken jin wau winuwus." (4) Pangkur, "Kuneng jin sajarahira." Poem was commissioned by I.S.K.S. Pakubuwana VII on 16 Dulkangidah Dal 1767 (21 January 1840); sangkala, "gunung [7] obahing [6] pitung [7] nagara [1]." R.Ng. Sindusastra, a well-known Surakarta court poet patronized by Pakubuwana VII, wrote the poem in consultation with the pujongga R.Ng. Ronggawarsita. Ronggawarsita provided the narrative; Sindusastra cast that narrative into poetry. Note poem's especially complex dating system. Compare with RP 7 A, MN 207.3, KS 14, KS 15, HN 1, and HN 2. MS formerly belonged to Bendara Gusti Raden Ayu Pangeran Harya Atmaja (see notes on p. ii). MS. leaves numbered 1-274; no p.# 187. Cursive Surakarta script. Tooled leather binding.
[Serat Babad Purwa: Sajarah Pangiwa]
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
History of ancient Java (jaman purwa) in macapat verse. Beginning and end of MS. missing. The first full canto opens in Sinom, "Brawijaya kang kaping pat, Bratanjung nulya sisiwi, Sang ngaPrabu Brawijaya." The next canto, in Dhangdhanggula, begins, "Kuneng sajarahing ratu Jawi, winangsulan caritane, Sayid Anwar rumuhun." The final canto, in Durma, opens, "Uwal lumebet kalih lumumpat, marang mg Poncaniti." Narrative opens with the genealogy of Pangeran Adipati Purbaya, that is, the future I.S.K.S. Pakubuwana VII (r. 1830-1858) from Nabi Adam, tracing both the "right" (Islamic) and "left" (Hindu deities and Indic heroes). Poem continues with poeticized tales from the wayang purwa (Pandhawa cycle) repertoire. Final portion of the extant text narrates the Bratayuda. Poem was composed by R.Ng. Sindusastra for his patron P.H. Purbaya, probably in 1829 (see MN 244). MS. from the legacy of R.M.Ng. Dutadipraja, instructor at the Radya Pustaka dhalang school (in operation 1923-1942); Dutadipraja served for a number of years as a komisaris of the museum. He left a substantial legacy of manuscripts to the Radya Pustaka. MS. leaves double-page numbered, 1-146. The script is in a cursive style that was prevalent at the court of Pakubuwana VII (r. 1830-1858). Tooled leather binding.
Serat Manikmaya
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Beginning with a specifically Javanese rendition of the sacred history of Islam, the text continues with a history of ancient, mythic Java (jaman purwa) in macapat verse. The narrative opens in the midst of a battle between the Islamic Prophet Suleman and the Indic god Sang Hyang Wenang and extends through the peopling of Java by Bathara Guru (Siva) and the reign of Java's originary divine king, Prabu Watugunung. Text breaks off abruptly. Final portions of the manuscript are crumbling. Opening lines of initial cantos: (1) Pucung: "Raja Sakar nungkulen sabalanipun, mring kang ngaku suksma, Jeng Nabi duk amiyarsi." (2) Dhandhanggula, "Antuk wangsit ing Hyang saking gaib."

History of "medieval" central Java (jaman madya), with chronograms. The focus is on the legendary, or semi-legendary, kingdoms of Pengging, Prambanan, and Mendhangkamulan. Macapat verse. The history begins with the struggle between Prabu Anglingdriya of Pengging and Prabu Karungkala of Prambanan, continues through the reign of Prabu Baka of Prambanan, and ends with the reign of Prabu Ajisaka of Mendhangkamulan. This poetic history appears to be derived from Ronggawarsita's prose Pustaka Raja Madya. Opening lines of initial cantos: (1) Asmarandana, "Wahya sebawaning kingkin." (2) Sinom, "Jengkar kondur manjing pura." (3) Pangkur, "Kya Patih matur sendika." (4) Pucung, "Rangkepipun, tegese duren kang nandur."

ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
History of medieval Java (jaman madya), with a focus on the central Javanese kingdom of Galuh (Banyumas). Macapat verse. Narrative opens with the reigns of Prabu Sindhula in Sigaluh and Prabu Dewatacengkar in Mendhangkamulan, continues with the Aji Saka tale, then proceeds through the adventures of Raden Daniswara (Prabu Sri Mahapunggung I), to close during the reign of Prabu Banjaransari of Galuh.

(2) Girisa, "Nagri Balhum wus sarata." (3) Dhangdhanggula, "Bagus anom awasis ing ngelmi."

Dutadipraja, instructor in the Radya Pustaka dhalang school and komisaris of the museum. Karaton Surakarta Kadipaten script. Leather binding.
Serat Baron Sakendher
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
History of medieval Java (jaman madya) through the late Majapahit period: eleventh-fifteenth centuries. Macapat verse. Narrative concerns the kingdoms of Mendhangkamulan, Jenggala, Galuh, Pajajaran and Majapahit (including a history of the Islamization of Java), along with the histories of Tarub and of Jakarta. Narrative opens abruptly during the reign of Prabu Daniswara of Mendhangkamulan and ends with the Jaka Tarub tale. Poem features extensive treatment of the tales of Baron Sakendher and Baron Sukmul, the legendary progenitors of European ascendancy in Java. Opening lines of initial and concluding cantos: (1) Dhangdhanggula, "Ing-angkat-angkat nedha kasungging." (2) Durma, "Raja Daniswara sang raja Kaskaya." (3) Asmarandana, "Dasanamaning nerpati." The final canto, in Dhangdhanggula, opens, "Kyahi Tarup anauri aris, nuwun neca sok dhasar nrimaa." End is abrupt, the text breaking off midline. The twenty-nine year old copyist signs his name in a sandiasma contained in the poem's opening stanzas: "Ingkang nama Ki Nitipusara lagya umur sangalikur taun, wulan Rabingulakir taun Be." He began writing on Akad Rabingulakir, Be, but provided no sengkala. Based on the scribal style, it may be surmised that the manuscript was inscribed in Be 1832 (1902). Scribal style resembles that prevalent at the court of Pakubuwana X around the turn of the twentieth century.
Serat Tuturing Para Raja Tanah Jawi = Babad Tanah Jawi Lami
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
History of Java from the legendary ancient kingdom of Medhangkamulan through the fall of the kingdom of Pajang. Macapat verse. History concerns the kingdoms of Mendhangkamulan, Galuh, Pajajaran, Majapahit, Demak, Pajang, early Mataram, along with the histories of Jakarta and Tarub. Following concise genealogical notes on the "left" descent of Javanese kings from Nabi Adam, the narrative opens with the descent from heaven of Bathara Wisnu as Java's first king (Watugunung tale). The narrative closes with the fall of the kingdom of Pajang and the rise to power of Panembahan Senapati ing Ngalaga, late sixteenth-century founder of the kingdom of Mataram. Poem treats extensively the adventures of Baron Kasendher (or Sakendher) and Baron Sukmul, the legendary progenitors of European ascendancy in Java. Opening lines of initial cantos: (1) Dhangdhanggula, "Anglir silem tembang madu gendhis, winiwitan sedasa kang mongsa." (2) Mijil, "Sampun medal ni rara lumaris." Presumptive provenance and dating of the text of this babad is based on a comparison of portions of its text with portions of MN 188, a history of Java that was written at the Yogyakarta residency house in 1821. Copy begun 25 Besar Jimawal 1797 (8 April 1869) in Kampung Baturana, Surakarta. End date Jimakir 1802 (CE 1873-74). Scribal style is consistent with that of the Karaton Surakarta Kadipaten in the mid-late nineteenth century. Elaborate ink designs illuminate the pupuh markers.

Serat Nitik Warni-Warni
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Collection of historical tales: Majapahit (Brawijaya VIII) to Mataram (Sultan Agung); see notes below. Nitik histories recount insider tales that are not normally recorded in court babad. Accordingly, the focus in this nitik volume is less upon affairs of state and more upon other matters, especially on the more personal interactions between subjects and their rulers. Composed in macapat verse, the volume opens in Dhangdhanggula, "Kang jinejer kandhanira tulis, ya Sang Maha Prabu Brawijaya." The final canto, in Mijil, begins, "Neng pasanggrahan pepak gunging dasih, kang sumiwi katong." End colophon dates the manuscript 30 Rabingulawal Jimakir 1802 (27 May 1873); sangkala, "nembah [2] muluk [0] kang sarira [8] tunggal [1]." Fine Surakarta cursive hand. MS. paper is very brittle; there are some breaks in the pages. 1. [Nitik Warni-Warni: Prabu Brawijaya VIII] (MS. pp. 1-100). Historical tales pertaining to the last ruler of Majapahit and his realm. The narrative includes a discussion of the Islamization of Java (p. 61 ff.) and the story of Adipati Jayasengara's transformation into the white crocodile king of Kedhung Srengenge (p. 66 ff.). 2. [Nitik Mataram] (MS. pp. 101-150). Insider tales set in the early Mataram period: (a) The story of Tumenggung Rajaniti. Rajaniti, the son of a priest who has disci pled himself to a miraculous elephant, is appointed to the rank of bupati in the court of Panembahan Seda Krapyak (r. 1601-1613). (b) story of Sultan Agung and Buyut Kyahi Bodho (p. 13 ff.). (c) Record of Ki Ageng Sela's well-known prohibitions (p. 127 ff.). (d) Stories concerning Panembahan Senapati and Sultan Hadiwijaya that underline the importance of sastra (writing or literature) (p. 129 ff.). (e) Story of Sultan Agung and Sotha (p. 144 ff.). 3. [Cariyos Parikesit, Raja Ngastina] (MS. pp. 151-158). Purwa tales: post Bratayuda. 4.

The narrative notes that in earliest era (jaman tirta) human beings were still like birds; this changed with the arrival of Hindu boats in Java and Sumatra bearing civilization (the Ajisaka story). Narrative continues up to the time of Majapahit and includes a history of the Islamization of Java. Also related is the traditional Javanese story concerning the geological formation of the Indonesian archipelago, that is, the splitting of a greater landmass into the islands of Java, Sumatra, and Borneo that is sometimes said to have taken place in the early Hindu period. The narrative then jumps abruptly to nitik stories set in Pengging during the reign of Prabu Madusedana. Also related are tales of the Prabu Kalana Tunjungseta of Pengging and stories of the three thieves (maling sakti, maling ala, maling edan). 6. [Cariyos Wana Kethu] (MS. pp. 186-187). Stories of the Kethu forest, often traversed by I.S.K.S. Pakubuwana VI (r. 1823-1830) and Mangkunagara II (r. 1796-1835). The stories form various origin tales that are set in the time of Prabu Tunjungseta. Reference is made to the Surakarta periodical Bramartani. 7. [Cariyos Prabu Tunjungseta kaliyan Ki Panjang Mas] (MS. pp. 188-191). Origin tales set in the time of Prabu Tunjungseta (continued): story of the original Ki Panjang Mas, ancestor of the dhalangs of central Java. This story, dated "surya 1218," tells how the dhalang and his wayang exploded into flames when performing for Prabu Tunjungseta.

Serat Babad Pajajaran = Serat Pustaka Raja Wasana: Pajajaran dumugi Demak
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Javanese history: Pajajaran to Demak. Histories of the kingdoms of Pajajaran, Majapahit, and Demak; Islamization of Java. Prose. Volume forms a portion of Ronggawarsita's massive Pustaka Raja, a universal history of Java from the time of its original human population by Empu Sangkala in the Javanese year 1 up to the late eighteenth century. Ronggawarsita composed this history to be both a record of the Javanese past and a compendium of traditional Javanese lore. For more on the Pustaka Raja, see below notes to RP 146. The present volume opens in the solar year of 1246 with the history of the end of Pajajaran and extends to the construction of the Grand Mosque in Demak in the year 1428. The final episode narrates the origin of the supernatural Ontakusuma vest, which was to have been worn by all Javanese kings when ascending the throne and when going forth in battle. Originally belonging to the wali Sunan Kalijaga, the vest was sewn from the Prophet Muhammad's prayer mat and shawl that had dropped miraculously from the ceiling of the newly constructed mosque to land at the feet of the assembled wali. Small Karaton Surakarta Kadipaten script; possible autograph MS of Ronggawarsita. Penciled note in Dutch at MS close, with a cryptic message: "Poestokorodjo. In zeer langer tyd ik verlang erg u te zien. Verlang u mij niet te zien."

The final canto (opening fragment only), in Sinom, begins, "Resadiwirya wus prapta, sakancanira prasami." Post-Giyanti Surakarta and Yogyakarta histories. The focus of the volume is the Dipanagara War, with the narrative breaking off abruptly just after the battle Winong in which the outnumbered troops of K.P. Kusumayuda defeat the troops of Ali Basah Jayasudarga. Poem composed on commission of K.G.P. Adipati Anom V ing Surakarta (later to reign as Pakubuwana X) on 2 Sapar Wawu 1817 (20 September 1887); sangkala, "timbalannya [7] narpasiwi [1] murtining [8] nungswa Jawi [1]." Attribution of authorship is from a sandiasma in the poem's second stanza. MS was presented to Gedhong Sanawilapa (Karaton Surakarta) on 3 Rabingulakir Alip 1827 (1 September 1897). Following examination, the MS was rejected for deposit at the Sanawilapa. Present manuscript is possibly the opening volume to an incomplete 14-vol. set of MSS titled Ngrimgreng Serat Babad Surakarta that were also presented to and rejected by the Sanawilapa on the same date.

The present manuscript thus forms a second witness to the Mangkunagaran Babad Nitik, portions of which have been translated into English and analyzed by Ann Kumar ("Record of a Lady Soldier," Indonesia, nos. 29-30: May and October 1980). MS opens, in Pangkur, with an account of a New Year's Eve celebration (31 December 1784) at the home of Surakarta's Uprup: "Puh pangkur ingkang [sinerat], nagri Sala taun baru [Walandi]." Note: on MS. p. 84 is the beginning fragment of another Mangkunagaran babad, which was commissioned by Mangkunagara I in Sawal Dal 1719 (May 1793). This babad treated (or was to have treated) an earlier period (Giyanti struggle). In this fragment, "carik wanodya, prajurit istri" tells of a corps of female troops, numbering sixty women, four of whom were charged by their prince with the writing of this history. The fragment opens, in Dhangdhanggula: Sinekaran ingkang manidu manis / Ingkang anerat carik wanodya / Prajurit istri golonge / Sawidak kathahipun / Ingkang selir pangran dipati / Kang saking alalana / Sakawan tinuduh / Anerati serat babat / Wulan Sawal taun Dal / Dan sekalani trus tunggal swaraning rat [1719].

History of Java (1809-1812): insider history of the Karaton Surakarta, with special focus on events surrounding the sacking of the Karaton Yogyakarta by the British in 1812 and the consequent domestication of the Karaton Surakarta. Macapat verse. Narrative opens with a discussion in the Yogyakarta palace on the August 1809 inauguration in Sala of the office of colonial minister (as opposed to the old uprup) and continues with a history, written from the perspective of the Karaton Surakarta, of both Javanese kratons during the turbulent times of the Daendels administration of Java and the early years of the British interregnum.

The July 1812 arrest and forced march to Semarang of Pakubuwana IV's patih, R.A. Cakranagara (who was married to one of Sunan' s sisters), are detailed, as are both the piteous laments of his wife and the remarkably swift return to good spirits that she enjoys. Narrative closes just a little over two weeks before Raffles and Pakubuwana IV's signing of the treaty of 4 August 1812 that would form the foundation for high colonialism in nineteenth-century Surakarta.

Serat Nitik Keprajan
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Compilation of prose texts that for the most part concern Karaton Surakarta history, lore, ceremony and etiquette; authorship of most of the texts is attributed to the pujongga Ronggawarsita. Text is preceded by a table of contents (MS. pp. ii-iii). Text includes (MS. pp. 1-49) an introduction to, and synopsis of Ronggawarsita's Pustaka Raja. This introduction forms a concise history of Java for the Javanese years 1 to 1794 (to CE 1865), beginning with the first peopling of Java by colonization by Rum (Turkey) in the year 1, and continuing through the marriage of Pakubuwana IX to R. Aj. Kustiyah, mother of the future Pakubuwana X. On MS. p. 1 is inscribed, "Serat cariyos ing tanah Jawi punika awit Raden Ngabehi Ronggawarsita andamel cariyos teturunan saking serat kropak, seratanipun buda tembung kawi." Text also includes a rendition of Ronggawarsita's Poncaniti (MS. pp. 52-61), which comprises lists of the Javanese kings and their patih, jaksa, pujongga (from Dewatacengkar to Pakubuwana IX), and Dutch colonial officials (uprups, residents and assistant residents of Surakarta along with Governors General of the Indies). The remainder of the text forms a compendium of what may be considered useful information for a court retainer of the late nineteenth century, including, among other matters: notes concerning Surakartan lands (including lands surrendered to the Dutch); notes concerning salaries (in cash and in land) to Karaton Surakarta sentana and abdi-dalem; regulations for abdi-dalem at the Kartasura court; notes on the creative productions (wayang, gendhing, saddles, etc.) of Pakubuwana IV; excerpts from portions of Ronggawarsita's Pustaka Raja Purwa that contain useful lore (including notes on the ruwatan ceremony); notes concerning the administration of justice in Surakarta; history of the founding of Surakarta; names and specific duties of corps of abdi-dalem prajurit and descriptions of the banners of each of these corps; notes on gates and structures inside the Karaton Surakarta; notes concerning the care of horses (katuranggan); notes on keris forms (dhapur dhuwung); examples of forms of Karaton Surakarta correspondence (adangiyah); notes concerning medals (bintang-bintang) from the time of Mataram through the reign of Pakubuwana IX (1861-1893); notes on the history and lore of pusaka cannon in the Karaton Surakarta. This MS, copied at the Radya Pustaka by R.Ng. Dayapangreka and dated 1957, comprises what appears to be a second-generation (?) copy of the original MS, which was compiled in Surakarta in AJ 1809 (CE 1879-80). The first generation copy, MS 143 carik (by Atmasutirta, ca. 1935?), was in a highly deteriorated state and could not be filmed; this MS, which was assigned the code 959.82272 Ser s in the early 1990s is now stored in kotak 21.

Serat Tajusalatin Kina
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Rare prose version of the Javanese Taju's-Salatin (Crown of Kings): didactic text divided into 24 chapters (pasal) on the duties and responsibilities of kings, their retainers and their subjects. The text forms an exploration of Islamic ethics, detailing the responsibilities of the ummah according to their stations, by means of exemplary tales from the Arabic Muslim past. According to I.S.K.S. Pakubuwana XII (1925-2004; r. 1945-2004), the Tajusalatin is the one text whose reading is incumbent upon all Javanese rulers (personal communication). The Javanese Tajusalatin texts are rendered from a Malay prose version produced in Aceh in 1603 by Bukhari al-Johori. The present MS is the sole prose version in Javanese that I am aware of; there are a number of exemplars of the Yasadipuran macapat rendition, including several published editions (see Pratelan I: 372-75). For further notes on the Tajusalatin corpus, see Behrend (Katalog Induk Naskah-naskah Nusantara I: 410-11). This MS, "Serat Tajusalatin Kina taksih wonten Arabi pun," was the gift of R.Ng. Atmarujita, Abdi-dalem Mantri Urdenas, who presented it to the library in Jumadilakir Alip 1851 (February 1921); see MS. p. ii. The beginning of the MS is missing; text of the Tajusalatin begins abruptly in pasal 2. Inscribed in red and black inks. Portions of the text are in Arabic. At MS end is a collection of short prose texts, most of which pertain to divination: 1. Anyatakaken Bumi (MS. pp. 381-85). Names of various kinds of land with descriptions of their different characters (watak). 2. Ngalamating Teja (MS. p. 385). Explication of the meanings, as prognostic signs, of various kinds of radiances. 3. Masalah Lakuning Wulan (MS. pp. 386-88) Pawukon. Notes pertaining to calendrical divination, including notes relating dates of the month with incidents in the lives of the Islamic prophets. 4. Ngalamating Lintang Kumukus (MS. pp. 388-89). Explication of the meanings, as prognostic signs, of various forms of shooting stars and comets. 5. Masalah Aran Sawiji-Wiji (MS. pp. 389-391). Determination of a person's good or bad character from the letters in his or her name. 6. Pambajangipun Lare (MS. pp. 392-393). Pawukon. Calendrical divination, especially pertaining to the five-day week. 7. [Masalah Islam] (MS. pp. 393-396). Notes pertaining to Islamic theology. Scribal style characteristic of Surakarta in the late eighteenth or very early nineteenth century. Inscribed on dluwang gendhong ("Panaraga" bark paper); MS suffers extensive damage from insect infestation.
Serat Tajusalatin
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
The Taju's-Salatin (Crown of Kings) forms a didactic text divided into 24 chapters (pasal) on the duties and responsibilities of kings, their retainers and their subjects. Macapat verse. Poem opens in Dhangdhanggula, "Purwaning reh wasita winarti, carita di kang ing ela-ela, saking kitab pinangkane lapale kang rinacut." The text forms an exploration of Islamic ethics, detailing the responsibilities of the ummah according to their stations, by means of exemplary tales from the Arabic Muslim past. See also notes to RP 94. The Javanese Tajusalatin texts are rendered from a Malay prose version produced in Aceh in 1603 by Bukhari al-Johori. The Yasadipuran macapat version likely dates from the late eighteenth century. Since the internal dating of this version, (that is, Hijrah 1139 [CE 1726-27]), would render Yasadipuran authorship impossible, we may surmise that the Yasadipuras rendered their macapat version from an earlier (prose?) version, which was perhaps produced in Kartasura ca. 1726. For a synopsis of cantos of the Yasadipuran version, see Pratelan I: 372-75. The current MS is the copy of a witness that was produced for Pakubuwana VII on 1 Jumadilakir Dal 1759 (7 November 1831); cf. MN 288. Copy is by Tulus, Pamagang ing Radya Pustaka, and is dated 11 Siyam Wawu 1841 (5 September 1911). The hand resembles the scribal style associated with the court of Pakubuwana X.

The Javanese Tajusalatin texts are rendered from a Malay prose version produced in Aceh in 1603 by Bukhari al-Johori. For more on the Tajusalatin, see above notes to RP 94 and 95. The present MS is the sole version in sekar ageng that I am aware of. The text was produced on commission of the crown prince of Surakarta (the future Pakubuwana V, r. 1820-23), probably in the 1810s; style is that of R.Ng. Yasadipura II. Poem opens: "Purwaning rehira kang manulad sri, saking ngagnya sang maha narpa putra, kestaweng ngrat panjenengan adipatya, pratistha ring Surakarta di praja." Second canto (in Bramara Wilasita?) begins, "Lwir bremara ing pengarange Jeng Imam Bukhari, ngumpulaken sagung carita linewih." At poem's end (MS. p. 748) is a note, inscribed in a hand different from that of the rest of the MS, that identifies this manuscript witness as belonging to B.R.M. Panji Pringgasaputra; this note is dated 1 Besar 1800 (12 January 1872).

Serat Pustaka Raja Purwa
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Prose history of ancient/legendary Java, solar years 680-696. Wayang purwa tales: births and youth of the Pandhawa and Kurawa princes, from the birth of Arjuna to the marriage of Prabu Anom Kresnawasudewa to Dewi Rukmini. Ronggawarsita's complete Pustaka Raja ("Book of the Kings") 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 Indic Mahabharata fame, the heroes and heroines of the Panji tales, the early legendary and semi-legendary kings of Central Java, and the rulers of Majapahit. And, if one includes Ronggawarsita's Paramayoga (MN 3190.10; 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 of the cosmos 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. Working from a wide variety of both written and oral sources, Ronggawarsita composed this history to form a compendium of traditional Javanese lore in addition to being a record of the Javanese past. Among Javanese shadow puppeteers (dhalang), the portions of the history that treat the adventures of the Pandhawa and Kurawa princes are widely considered the standard for the creation and evaluation of dramatic plots for wayang performance. This Pustaka Raja series belonged to K.R.A. Sasradiningrat IV (1847-1925), founder of the Radya Pustaka and Pepatih-dalem Karaton Surakarta, 1890-1916. The present volume formed the seventh volume of the original series and is the first of the series' extant volumes. Cursive Surakarta script.

ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Pustaka Raja history 1127-1144 solar. Prose history of ancient Java, solar years 1127-1144. Puwara tales: wasana cycle. The wasana (final) cycle marks the end of the Pustaka Raja histories. Ronggawarsita continued his massive prose chronicle of the Javanese past with his Babad Itih that narrates Java's history up to the middle of the eighteenth century. Although there are no Babad Itih volumes in the Radya Pustaka, a nearly complete set is stored in the Reksapustaka library of the Mangkunagaran palace (MN 84-95). The present volume opens with the construction of the karaton of Pajajaran by Prabu Panji Maesa-tandreman (formerly called Prabu Suryamiluhur of Medangkamulan Tanah Kilen). The narrative continues with a history of the rivalry between the kingdoms of Pajajaran and Pajang-Pengging through the final defeat of Prabu Batulata, last king of Pajang-Pengging. Text breaks off abruptly. The "Banjaransari" history continues with RP 190-192; the present MS, however, does not appear to have originally belonged to this set.

Serat Pranacitra
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Historical romance set in Mataram at the time of Sultan Agung (r. 1613-1645): Pranacitra tale. Macapat verse. Poem opens in Dhangdhanggula: "Purwaningkang ngukara ginupit, gancar kandhane wong barang gambang, duk nguni jaman kartane." Narrative tells the story of the ill-fated love affair of Pranacitra and Rara Mendhut. Version appears to be almost identical to the published edition (Semarang 1888); see Pratelan I: 361-65, for synopses of cantos. The macapat Pranacitra was composed in the early nineteenth century upon the commission of K.G.P.A.A. Amangkunagara (the future I.S.K.S. Pakubuwana V, r. 1820-1823); poem was probably composed by the crown prince's favored writer, R.Ng. Yasadipura II. The present MS is a slightly emended version, by one R. Taruna-atmaja; it was written on commission of K.P.H. Natakusuma (Malayakusuma), a son of Pakubuwana IV (r. 1788-1820) and younger brother of Pakubuwana V. This version closes with an appended message addressed to youth on how to read the poem (MS. pp. 268-72). The Taruna-atmaja version is dated 3 Jumadilawal Alip 1763 (27 August 1835); sangkala "brama [3] retu [6] swara [7] tunggil [1]." Notes on authorship are from the colophon on MS. p. 268.

Poem opens in Sinom: "Sigegen ingkang kocapa, wonten dhadhakan nglayoni, gagempaling carita, sambunging kondha anunggil." Narrative focuses on the romance of Jaka Pangasih and the village maiden Rara Sepranti. Present MS was likely copied from a prototype MS produced by R. Taruna-atmaja in 1835 (see RP 210).

ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Poetic commemoration of events in the Kartasura court during the early years of Pakubuwana II's reign (r. Kartasura 1726-1745; r. Surakarta 1745-1749). Macapat verse. Poem opens in Dhangdhanggula: "Wuryaning sarkara manulad Sri, pinanduk ing reh angkara cipta, karti sampeka panjore, jujur tyas katalanjur." Narrative concerns a theological debate that took place at the court of Pakubuwana II around 1731. This debate on matters of Islamic metaphysics was between two Islamic scholars: one, Ketib Anom Kudus, is a refined courtier of the king; the other, Haji Amad Mutamakin, a rustic Sufi. This poetic account of the debate includes an analysis of a portion of the Dewaruci story, which is excerpted from another of Yasadipura's compositions, the Serat Dewaruci. For an enlightening discussion on the historical circumstances of the events narrated in the text, see M. C. Ricklefs, The Seen and Unseen Worlds in Java, 1726-1749: History, Literature, and Islam in the Court of Pakubuwana II (Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, 1998): 127-62. An edition of the Serat Cabolek, with an English translation, has been published (S. Soebardi, The Book of Cabolek [The Hague: Nijhoff, 1975]). The poem is conventionally attributed to R.Ng. Yasadipura I and is thought to have been composed in the late eighteenth century. The prototype of the present manuscript witness is both identified as "carangan dhinapur adi" and dated AJ 1795 (CE 1866/67); sangkala, "tata [5] trus [9] sapteng [7] rat [1]," in its final lines. Present MS comprises a copy of that prototype; this copy was produced for K.G.P.A.A. Amangkunagara V, the Surakarta crown prince who would later reign as Pakubuwana X (1893-1939). The copy, by abdi-dalem Karyamarsika, was completed in AJ 1815 (CE 1885/86); see MS. p ii. Karaton Surakarta Kadipaten script. MS was purchased from Wiryasukarta in 1939.

Serat Partadewa
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Rendering in macapat verse of the wayang purwa lakon Partadewa: Bathara Kamajaya, as Prabu Partadewa, protects the Pandhawa against the threat of Prabu Suryenggana, foreign [sabrang] king of Parangkancana and ally of the Kurawa. Poem opens in Asmarandana, "Karwamaa Sri Bupati, Ngastina Sri Duryuddhana." Final canto, in Durma, begins, "Suryenggana tan pegat amriyembada." Date of composition is likely 1856 (see KS 413). There is an extended colophon in the final verses of the poem in which authorship is attributed both to K.P.H. Kusumadilaga and to "Abdi Carik Sastratoya Palayon Ngeksigonda." The colophon goes on to state that this manuscript witness [or its prototype?] was copied from a manuscript that belonged to K. Ratu Kadhatyan, the eldest daughter of Pakubuwana VIII (r. 1858-1861) and that the copy was produced on commission of Jeng Sekar Kadhaton (the daughter of Pakubuwana VII who was later to be known as K. Ratu Pembayun). We learn that the copyist, Raden Rongga Manguntenaya, began his task on 19 Besar Dal 1799 (11 March 1871) and completed the writing on 13 Rabingulawal Wawu 1801 (20 June 1872). We also learn that Manguntenaya was the adopted son of "ingkang yasa kinteki" (K.P.H. Kusumadilaga); and that he inscribed the manuscript in the village of Tejamaya, home of his adoptive father. The scribal style is one characteristic of the court of Pakubuwana X around the turn of the 20th century; hence the present MS is likely a copy of Manguntenaya's 1871-1872 work. Lined notebook paper. Manuscript was purchased by R.Ng. Dutadilaga (= R.M.Ng. Dutadipraja) on 18 February 1936.

Kekawin Ramayana
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Old Javanese Ramayana in Kekawin meters. Poem opens in Bramara, "Ana ta sira ratu ddhibya rengeng." Canto two, in Basonta, begins, "Kawit saratsamaya kalanira para ngke." Penultimate canto, in Langenjiwa, opens, "Ksma sahana-hana asujana kusala sapala pinuji pinaraga siguna." The final canto, in Astakosala, forms a colophon; it begins, "Yeki karananing ulun tumiru sotani carita niranjana priya." The Ramayana forms an epic poem relating the struggle between Rama, king of Ngayodya, and Dasamuka (Rahwana), king of Ngalengka. In Javanese traditions authorship is attributed to Empu Yogiswara. Zoetmulder, however, casts doubt on the attribution; for his synopsis and discussion of the poem, see Kalangwan: 217-33. See also Pigeaud, Literature of Java I: 175-77, and Poerbatjaraka, Kapustakan Djawi: 2-5. This richly illuminated MS (see frontispiece present volume) appears to have been produced for the young, fifteen-year-old crown prince of the Karaton Surakarta ("Sang Maha Prabu Taruna dibya dihning, irika maha kadhatyan ni kanang nagri Surakarta-diningrat") who would go on to reign as Pakubuwana IV (1788-1820). The MS was inscribed on the eve of the young prince's marriage to a Madurese princess (they were married on 18 May 1783). The manuscript is dated Sukra Wage, 8 Jumadilawal Jimakir 1709 (11 April 1783); sangkala, "trus [9] sah [0] saptaning [7] sang raja [1]." The copy is signed "Idarapate." See the extensive copyist's colophon that begins on MS. p. 584. Compare present manuscript with KS 427, a witness of the Kekawin Ramayana that is dated CE 1753. The Karaton Surakarta MS, too, was produced for, or by commission of, "Sang Maha Prabu Taruna diya dihning, irika maha-kadhatyan ni kanang nagari Surakarta-diningrat" (in this case, apparently indicating the young I.S.K.S. Pakubuwana III, r. 1749-1788). Compare also with RP 273, a Kekawin Ramayana MS produced in 1798 for the then crown prince, who was none other than Pakubuwana IV's son from his marriage with the Madurese princess mentioned above. This crown prince would later reign as Pakubuwana V (1820-1823). MS is provided with decorative illumination: color and gold leaf. Illuminated frontispiece. Fine quadratic Karaton Surakarta script. Compare hand and illumination with that of RP 276. Tooled leather binding. Watermarks: VI; VR. MS. frontispiece (pp. 1-2) and pp. 585-86 reshot in color on reel 223, item 13.

Serat Centhini Jalalen
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Wandering student romance, with extensive passages on traditional Javanese lore, as well as on Islamic theology and on matters of esoteric Islamic knowledge and practice (tasawuf). The adventures of the wandering princes of Giri (especially Seh Amongraga). In the final portion of the text Amongraga's story is intertwined with that of Jatiswara, the wandering prince of Cempa. Macapat verse: 56 cantos. Poem opens in Asmarandana, 'Dhawuh timbalan nerpati, mring kang abdi juru citra, tinedhak sungging wiyose, kagengan Sri Maharaja, kang kinawi bubuka, katandhanganing wong ngalul, iman sarta lan ibadat.' The second canto, in Mijil, begins, 'Apan sarya winejang ing ngelmi, sadaya wus kawot.' Final canto, in Dhangdhanggula, begins, 'Anembrama ing tamunireki, lah ta jebeng sira umajuwa.' The narrative opens in Wanamarta, with Seh Amongraga's teachings to his bride, Tambangraras, and continues through the teachings of the 100-year-old saint Seh Baka to R. Jatiswara. We learn from the introductory verses of the poem that the king (Pakubuwana IV) commissioned this work and that it was to be composed/compiled/copied from a collection of MSS that belonged to the royal library. The poem is dated 15 Sapar Jimawal 1733 (5 May 1806); sangkala, 'trining [3] guna [3] swaraning [7] rat [1].'

[Serat Suluk Warni-Warni]
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Suluk literature: Sufi songs in macapat verse. Suluk (from the Arabic suluk, 'traversing the Sufi way') are complex texts that write allusively and often symbolically of matters that concern Islamic mystical thought and practice. Among other things, suluk texts write of the nature of man (body and soul), often exploring the potential of human perfection in and through God. They frequently pose questions that concern the relationship between, and the paradoxical organic unity of, binary opposites: e.g., inside and outside, body and soul, asceticism and activism, death and life, God and man. For an in-depth introduction to the genre (viewed through Thomistic lenses), see P.J. Zoetmulder, Pantheism and Monism in Javanese Suluk Literature (1995). Present manuscript forms a collection of 31 suluk. Volume is provided with a table of contents (MS. pp. 361-63). Earlier records of the Radya Pustaka identify present manuscript as Suluk Kadis, from the title of the first suluk in the collection. Copy by Ki Mas Sastrasayana dated 12 Jumadilawal Jimawal 1845 (28 March 1925 (see MS. p. 360). Compare present MS with MN 314. Karaton Surakarta Kadipaten script.

Syarhan Kitab Fikih
ð Ikhtisar & Catatan Filologis
Juridical literature of Islam: fiqh. Arabic text with Arabic commentary and partial translation in Javanese (pegon). The text concerns Muslim ritual practice (ibadah) and marriage. A penciled note on the opening page of the manuscript identifies it as "Kitab Pki Min'ijulkawin." The original text is inscribed in red ink; the commentary and Javanese translation, in black ink. This is a so-called jenggot gandhul ("dangling beard") manuscript: Arabic language text with interlinear Javanese translation in pegon script hanging in diagonal lines under the lines of the Arabic original and its commentary. The pegon is very small and difficult to read. According to the colophon, the (original?) text was written in Mecca on 25 Zulkaedah [H] 644 (11 April 1247). The colophon identifies the writer as "Abdullah ibn Abdurrahman ibn Fadhali Hadhrami." I am grateful for the assistance of Drs. Ahmad Taufik and K.R.T. Mpu Totok Brojodipuro in the identification of this text. The manuscript had been mistakenly labeled and catalogued as a Serat Menak in the Radya Pustaka collection. Arabic script and language, with Javanese translation in pegon. Red and black inks. Watermarks: GJW PANNEKOEK; CONCORDIA RESPARVAE CRESCUNT. MS. paper is extremely brittle, and the binding is over tight. Tooled leather binding. MS. pp. 582-85 are blank.
