“Magelang arie 1 Jannuarij 1847, koffy kommiteur Bandongan”, (signed) Kartoredjo. |
| Subject matter : | Southeast Asia |
| Content : | Menak Amir Hamza romance in macapat verse, Islamic epic (see SB Schoem. II 6), beginning with tales about King Sarehat (sic) of Madayin and Lukman Kakim, before the birth of Amir Hamza, and ending with an episode of Arya Bental Jemur (sic) of Pijajar and Marmadi.
The book has a title (which is an exception) written on a fly-leaf: punika buk, serat minak, cacriyosan para ratu prajurit ingkang utami, genipun anindakaken perang, rumeksanipun bala Between the initial pada marks, some words are written in cipher: aksaras marked with three dots on top, indicating that they represent another phoneme than usual. Probably the name of the metre of the first canto, dandanggula, was written in cipher, only to show the scribe’s proficiency in this art. The year of the beginning of the writing, Dal 1767 A.J. corresponds with 1839 A.D. on the first and the last page of the book the owner put his seal in red sealingwax, containing his name Kartoredjo in Latin, Arabic and Javanese characters. He appears to have been a commissary, an official of medium rank in the Dutch East India Government service, having control of the coffee crops which where produced by compulsory labour at the time. The book was probably written by a professional scribe. It seems improbable that the commissary could write a fine ms. like Schoem. II 9 himself. The script shows also some resemblance with the writing of cod. LOr. 1928, re-edited by professor Drewes (The Admonitions of Shaikhu‘1-Bari, 1970), which is an Islamic text probably dating from the 16th century. See also Schoem. II 10. The original of SB Schoem. II 9 dates probably from the 18th century. Cf. Pigeaud § 30.461 (Lit. of Java, I, p. 215) and VOHD XXXI, 36. The title, which is in a more common script, might be added by the owner in 1847, at the time when he acquired the book. The text on f. 7: // malih winuwus lampahan, nusirwan prabu, ing Medayin busekane keringan sami duk praptane sang prabu, lajeng bumeng kedhaton // |
