VOLUME III Illustrations and Facsimiles of Manuscripts, Maps, Addenda and a General Index of Names and Subjects. PREFACE The present "Literature Qf Java, Catalogue Raisonne Qf Javanese Manuscripts" is a publicatiQn of the Library Qf the University Qf Leiden. It is no.. IX Qf the series "CQdices Manuscripti" published by this Library, and it is made available tOo the public by the RQyal Institute Qf Linguistics and AnthropQoIDgy. Originally the wQrk was Qnly meant to be a sequel tOo Dr H. H. Juynboll's "Supplement Dp "den CatalQgus van de J avaansche en Madoereesche Handschriften der Leidsche "Universiteits-BibliQtheek" in two volumes. The second volume appeared in 1911. It soon became clear, hQwever, that this was the Dpportunity tOo publish an English Catalogue which could be used as an introductiDn to the study Qf Javanese literature mOore easily than the previQus Dutch catalQgues eQuId. It is a matter Qf fact that Dr Juynboll and his predecessors wrQte their catalogues with the intentiDn of prQviding infDrmatiDn on Javanese literature in general, and fDr several decades their books did render excellent services tOo students Qf Javanese civilizatiQn. The differences in structure between the older catalogues and the present bDOk will be explained in the introduction to the second vQlume. In two vDlumes the contents of the previDus catalQgues, increased by an equal quantity Qof new material, has been rearranged according tOo a new system. The third volume, cDntaining illustrations, facsimiles Df manuscripts, maps and a general index Df names and subjects, is entirely new. The author gratefully acknDwledges the facilities put at his disposal by the Curators of the State University Df Leiden, the Librarian of the University Library, the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (Z.W.O.) Df The Hague and the Royal Institute of Linguistics and AnthrDpology (KDninklijk Instituut VDor Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde) of Leiden. He wishes to thank the librarians Df collections Qutside Leiden who cDnsented tOo have their Javanese manuscripts described in the present book. He expresses his great appreciation for suggestiQns and advice given by cDlleagues wDrking in the field of IndDnesian philDIDgy and fDr useful information found in their books. Especially he wishes tOo state his indebtedness to the late prDfessor Raden Mas Ngabehi Dr Poerbatjaraka, Df Djakarta, Java, whose text-editions and books on literature are indispensable fOor students Df Javanese civilization. The wOork of Mr J. Soegiarto, for more than thirty years assistant tOo the professors Df Javanese in the University of Leiden, has been Df great use to. the VIII PREFACE author of the present book. The numerous romanized copies and summaries of literary works made by Mr Soegiarto and duly registered in the Descriptive List of Manuscripts are valued aids for the students of Javanese literature. The author wants to make clear that the completion of "Literature of Java" has been made possible by the never flagging industry of Mrs E. Andriessen-Liick, whose clerical assistance has been invaluable through many years. Dr R. Roolvink and Mr P. J. Worsley have kindly taken the trouble to correct the English of the descriptive passages of the present book. They can rest assured that their helpfulness is greatly appreciated. Grateful for the help, both spiritual and material, received from many sides, the author expresses the hope that "Literature of Java", the result of the col laboration of many workers, both Javanese and Dutch, may be instrumental in stimulating others to make more detailed investigations of the development of culture in the Indian Archipelago. NOTE: The system of transliteration of Javanese, Balinese, Malay, Sanskrit and Arabic words which is applied in the present book is explained in 00100 (Latin script). 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. Copies on microfiches or microfilms, only positives, are made available at a reasonable rate to scholars outside Leiden. Priority will be given to requests s.ent 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 copies should be sent to the librarians concerned. The lists of important collections of manuscripts in Java and Bali are included in the present book only for information.
