PREFACE
The third, concluding volume of "Literature of Java" contains Addenda and a
General Index, preceded by Illustrations, Facsimiles of Manuscripts, Maps and
some Minor Notes, additions which may be of U'se to students of Javanese literature.
The older catalogues of collections of Indonesian manuscripts (Javanese, Malay,
Sundanese, Madurese, Balinese), which were written in Dutch, did not offer such
additional aids to interested readers. One of the reasons was., that the authors
(Vreede, Brandes, van Ronkel, Juynboll, Berg) presupposed a certain knowledge
of the Indones,ian peoples, their countries and their culture with Dutch students.
As often as not the latter, or their families, had lived for many years in Java, and
they were destined, when they had completed their studies in The Netherlands,
to pass one or more decades of 'their active life in the ,tropics in the service of
Government, the Christian Missions or the Bible Society. The Archipelago was
their second home country. Some familiarity with things Indonesian was found
in several circles of society in The Netherlands before the second world war, and
information (though not always scholarly and exact) was supplied by quite a
number of books and periodicals. For this reason it was thought superfluoU's to
encumber specialistic books like catalogues of manuscripts with maps and general
information which could be found easily elsewhere, for instance in the Dutch
"Encyclopaedie van Nederlandsch-Indie".
As circumstances have changed it is. hoped that sltudents of Javanese culture
who are unfamiliar with the Dutch pre-war tradition may derive some benefit from
the additional notes and pieces of information supplied in the present book.
Beside the acknowledgements ito the institutions and persons mentioned in
the Prefaces to V O'lume One and V olume Two, the author haSi to thank the
Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs, Commonwealth Office, London, for
his permission to reproduce a drawing from manuscript no. MSS Jav. C 1 in the
India Office Library.
Dr R. Roolvink, of the Indonesian department of the University of Leiden,
has constantly given his sympathy and good advice during the years of preparation
of "Literature of Java". The authO'r thanks him in particular for his assistance in
making the plans of the maps. Thanks are due alsO' to Mr H. Abrahams, of the
"Nijmeegse Centrale voor Dialect- en Naamkunde", for the trO'uble he has taken
in drawing the maps.
VI PREFACE
The author feels particularly grateful to. <the Netherlands Organization for the
Advancement Df Pure Research (Z.W.O.) fDr providing funds fDr the publicatiDn
with such liberality that it has been possible to' reproduce several facsimiles Df
manuscripts and illustrations, some of them in colours. In this way readers> may
become acquainted with some aspects of Javanese culture which have been given
little attentiDn so far.
Dr A. Teeuw, PrDfessor of Malay in the University Df Leiden, and at present
President Df the Board of Directors of the Royal Institute of Linguistics and
Anthropology, has prDmoted the publication Df "Literature of Java" in many ways.
The authDr feels deeply indebted to. him for his assistance in bringing out the book.
The Addenda which are regiSitered in the present volume III are mostly
copies of Javanese-Balinese manuscripts collected by Dr C. HODykaas, of the
London SChODI of Oriental and African Studies. Dr Hooykaas has deserved well
Df all students of Javanese-Balinese literature and culture by his unceasing activity
in collecting manuscripts and preserving the Kirtya collection Df Singaradja, Bali.
The author expresses his admiration and gratefulness fDr Dr Hooykaas's dis
interested aid in completing the collection of Javanese-Balinese manuscripts of the
Leiden University Library.
Mrs Astuti Hendrato Samoe, of the University of Indonesia, has recently made
available a list of the manuscripts and notes which were collected by the present
author in Surakarta and Y Dgyakarta in the pre-war period; they are now in the
keeping of the Faculty of Arts (Fakultas Sastra) in Djakarta. This collection is
comparable with the Cohen Stuart, Brandes, Engelenberg and Moens collections
in the Museum Pusat in Djakarta which are registered in volume II of the present
book. TherefDre it seems suitable to' incorporate a concise catalogue of the Fakultas
Sastra collection, based Dn Mrs Hendrato's inventory, in the Addenda in the
present vDlume. The author expresses his gratefulness for the preservation of
the collection in Djakarta during several turbulent decades, and his appreciation
for Mrs Hendrato's diligence in compiling the inventory, and her kindness in
presenting a copy to the Library.
The cooperation with Mr J. Soegiarto and Mrs E. Andriessen-Liick has
been as agreeable and fruitful in compiling the materials for the third vDlume of
"Literature ot Java" as it was during the writing Df the preceding vDlumes. Their
faithful fulfilment of the tasks -entrusted to them has been exemplary. The author
thanks them both most heartily.
NOTES:
The system of transliteration of Javanese, Balinese, Malay, Sanskrit and Arabic words
which is applied in the present book is explained in paragraph 00100 (Latin Script) of
Volume One.
The Leiden University Library never lends out original manuscripts. or copies of manu
scripts which are registered as codexes in the Catalogue. The codexes may be inspected by
qualified students in the Reading Room, called Legatum Warnerianum, of the Library. Photo
graphic copies on microfiches or microfilms, only positives, are made available at a reasonable
rate to scholars outside Leiden. Priority will be given to requests sent in by university
libraries. When a Leiden codex or a reproduction of a Leiden codex is used for a publication
in any form (book, article etc.), a free copy or off-print of such a publication should be
presented to the University Library.
The Leiden University Library is, of course, not in the position to provide microcopies
of manuscripts belonging to other libraries. Applications for photographic copies should be
sent direct to the librarians concerned. The lists of important collections of manuscripts in Java
and Bali are included in the present book only for information.
In the present book on Literature of Java paragraphs are numbered consecutively
throughout the three volumes, from 00001 up to 70.000.
00001 -49.970 are in Volume One, Synopsis of Javanese Literature.
50.000 ff. are in Volume Two, Descriptive Lists of Manuscripts.
60.000 ff. and 70.000 are in Volume Three, Illustrations etc., and General Index.
