Notes
brown European cardboard binding — The script is old-fashioned, cursive, it belongs to the North East Coast districts.
The ms. was written carefully. The idiom and the orthography furnish indications that
the scribe was a cultured man, probably belonging to some centre of scholarship in
the East Pasisir region. — paper — А (p. 1-16): Sastra Praniti (see Lit. of Java, II, p. 733, codex NBS 84-XIV), prose treatise on
rules of polite address in letters, mentioning three basic shapes of writing (dadapuran
ing aksara) the Mendang Kamulan dapur (the most simple), the Majapahit dapur and the
Awangga Nagara (Ngawanggi?) dapur (p. 5), further mentioning the Majapahit Court clerks
(carik) Yudayaka and Bajrayaka (p. 8). The four lines of writing on p. 1 of the ms.
belong to the conclusion of the Sastra Praniti text on p. 16 (a mistake of the binder).
The pp. 17-19 are blank. В (p. 20-40): didactic and moralistic poetry mainly referring to good behaviour ocourtiers serving
the king. Yudanagara is mentioned (see Lit. of Java, III, Index, p. 440 and § 17.310).
The leaves seem to be in disorder. Some white paper leaves containing an old German description of the text (“Javanisches
Gedicht”) are affixed to the first leaf of the ms.
