Notes
historic (?), red-brown wooden box (too narrow!) (56 x 5.5 x 17 cm) with loose top
(height 4 cm), both carved out of one block of wood, fitting nicely together, on a string, with a green bead at its end — Writing is clear — palm leaf — Old Javanese Buddhist poem in Sanskrit metres, by Tantular, a poet of the Majapahit
period (14th century). The plot of the tale shows considerable discrepancies with
the Sanskrit Suta Soma jātaka. On the outside of the first palmleaf are some almost illegible words written, apparently
the name of the book, starting: "History af Ra ..." Since these words are Danish,
it is certain that the manuscript was at some point owned by Mr. Mads Lange, a Danish
trader who had lived many years in South Bali. The slogan propagated by the Republic of Indonesia today is taken from this text:
Bhinneka Tunggal Ika=Unity in diversity. Note to the colophon: Tryanggapura on Bali is difficult to locate. Šaka 1637 is A. D. 1715. Javano-Balinese
dating of manuscripts is rare.
