The form and contents of the present inventory are protected by Dutch and international copyright law and database legislation.

First electronic publication: 12 September 2015. PREFACE The arrangement of the present volume of the Inventories of Oriental manuscripts in Leiden University Library does not differ in any way from the volumes which have been published earlier. For the sake of brevity I refer to my prefaces in those volumes. A few essentials may be repeated here. The basic elements for each entry of the present inventory are: 1. class-mark, 2. language(s), 3. details of physical description, 4. survey of the contents, 5. provenance, 6. present location on the shelf. Depending on the nature of the material, exceptions and divergences are made from this strict arrangement. The collective provenance of a series of manuscripts is summarized in the form of a short text preceding the individual descriptions. Few manuscripts mentioned in the present volume were viewed by autopsy, but some were. The sheer number of manuscripts makes it impossible to look at them all. The lists that I publish are based on the handwritten ledgers that are kept by the curators of Oriental manuscripts in the Leiden library. At a later stage complete autopsy may be achieved, but trying to achieve this at the present stage of the inventorizing would seriously hamper the progress of the project, that is already taking much longer than I had anticipated. When a manuscript was not inspected this can be seen from a simple typographical device. Whenever the indication of the shelf-mark is put between round brackets, I have not, or not extensively or sufficiently, inspected the manuscript, and its entry in the inventory is based mostly or entirely on secondary sources, be they published or not. These have, of course, always been indicated. When the shelf-mark is put between square brackets and preceded by an asterisk, this means that I have had the manuscript in my hands, at least once but probably more than once, and also that the description contains elements that can only be seen in the original manuscript, not from the existing library inventories. Such autopsy does not mean that I am, automatically, the author of all information given under that particular class-mark. When I am not, the description is always properly referenced. The reader of this volume will notice that not all information of this series of a thousand manuscripts is available. In a limited number of cases the manuscripts could not be located. These I have indicated with the shelf mark “(presently [2015] not located. Mal. ??)”. I am confident that these items will be located in a not too distant future. Anyway, their number is too small to delay the publication of the present volume much longer. In a somewhat larger number of instances I could not yet produce the cross references between photocopies of Balinese palmleaf manuscripts and their transcripts that have arrived throught the Balinese Manuscript Project. When the work on the as yet unpublished volumes of my Inventory progresses these cross references are bound to be found. An update of the present volume will then be published, featuring the as yet missing information. In the present edition of this volume 19 I have indicated the absence of such cross references with a double question mark. Here as well, I thought it undesirable to further delay the publication. The present volume contains a very detailed description of the papers of the Bible translator Dr. J.L. Swellengrebel (1909-1985) that I received from his widow in the course of 1985. These papers are now registered as Or. 18.840-Or. 18.875. It is my intention to publish similarly detailed descriptions of other collections of papers, but I have decided to do that later, in an update to this volume. Here as well, I thought it more urgent to publish a complete inventory of the series Or. 18.801-Or. 19.000, than to go in-depth for a detailed description of other collections of private or scholarly papers. In the present volume, the J.H. Kramers Archive (Or. 18.094), the H.T. Damsté Archive (Or. 18.095) and part of the Snouck Hurgronje Archive (Or. 18.097) await an in-depth description. There are more collective units in this volume, such as the papers of the First Encyclopaedia of Islam (Or. 18.099) that also need an in-depth treatment. All this will have to wait till a later moment, however. The pages is in this volume are not numbered. The page numbers are omitted on purpose. As there will be regular updates to this volume (and to the other volumes of the Inventory for that matter), the pagination of the present edition is immediately invalid for all coming updates. The user of this inventory should instead refer to class-marks of the manuscript (the so-called Or.-numbers) and to nothing else. This numerus currens is the only stable and unchangeable element in my descriptions of the Leiden Oriental manuscripts. I end with an important note. Although the set of inventories of which I am publishing here volume 19, contain descriptions of public and private collections, which will no doubt profit of the existence of electronic versions of my work, none of my inventories has ever been made at the express insistence or by the specific demand of these institutions, on the contrary I may say. The idea to compile such inventories, the invention of their structure, the acquisition of the necessary information from a multitude of primary and secondary sources, the way of publishing, all this is my own idea and it is my work alone. It is therefore my sole property and I assert the moral right of the authorship of form and content of these inventories, with ample reference, of course, to what I have said elsewhere about the method of compilation.

    KAKAWIN RAMAYANA Oleh I Ketut Nuarca PROGRAM STUDI SASTRA JAWA KUNO FAKULTAS ILMU BUDAYA UNIVERSITAS UDAYANA APRIL 2017 Pengantar Peninggalan naskah-naskah lontar (manuscript) baik yang berbahasa Jawa Kuna maupun Bali yang ada di masyarakat Bali telah lama menjadi perhatian para peneliti baik peneliti nusantara maupun asing. Mereka utamanya peneliti asing bukan secara kebetulan tertarik pada naskah-naskah ini tetapi mereka sudah lama menjadikan naskah-naskah tersebut sebagai fokus garapan di beberapa pusat studi kawasan Asia Tenggara utamanya di eropa. Publikasi-publikasi yang ada selama ini telah membuktikan tingginya kepedulian mereka pada bidang yang satu ini. Hal ini berbeda keadaannya dibandingkan dengan di Indonesia. Luasnya garapan tentang bidang ini menuntut adanya komitmen pentingnya digagas upaya-upaya antisipasi untuk menghindari punahnya naskah-naskah dimaksud. Hal ini penting mengingat masyarakat khususnya di Bali sampai sekarang masih mempercayai bahwa naskah- naskah tersebut adalah sebagai bagian dari khasanah budaya bangsa yang di dalamnya mengandung nilai-nilai budaya yang adi luhung. Di Bali keberadaan naskah-naskah klasik ini sudah dianggap sebagai miliknya sendiri yang pelajari, ditekuni serta dihayati isinya baik secara perorangan maupun secara berkelompok seperti sering dilakukan melalui suatu tradisi sastra yang sangat luhur yang selama ini dikenal sebagai tradisi mabebasan. Dalam tradisi ini teks-teks klasik yang tergolong sastra Jawa Kuna dan Bali dibaca, ditafsirkan serta diberikan ulasan isinya sehingga terjadi diskusi budaya yang cukup menarik banyak kalangan. Tradisi seperti ini dapat dianggap sebagai salah satu upaya bagaimana masyarakat Bali melestarikan warisan kebudayaan nenek moyangnya, serta sedapat mungkin berusaha menghayati nilai-nilai yang terkandung di dalam naskah-naskah tersebut. Dalam tradisi ini teks-teks sastra Jawa Kuna menempati posisi paling unggul yang paling banyak dijadikan bahan diskusi.

  • Gagal Paham Memaknai Kakawin Sebagai Pengiring Upacara Yadnya Dan Dalam Menembangkannya: Sebuah Kasus Di Desa Susut, Bangli
    GAGAL PAHAM MEMAKNAI KAKAWIN SEBAGAI PENGIRING UPACARA YADNYA DAN DALAM MENEMBANGKANNYA: SEBUAH KASUS DI DESA SUSUT, BANGLI. I Ketut Jirnaya, Komang Paramartha, I Made wijana, I Ketut Nuarca Program tudi Sastra Jawa Kuno, akultas Ilmu Budaya, Universitas Udayana E-mail: [email protected] Abstrak Karya sastra kakawin di Bali sering dipakai untuk mengiringi upacara yadnya. Dari itu banyak terbit dan beredar di masyarakat buku saku Kidung Pancayadnya. Isi setiap buku tersebut nyaris sama. Buku-buku ini membangun pemahaman masyarakat bahwa kakawin yang dipakai untuk mengiringi upacara yadnya telah baku tanpa melihat substansi makna filosofi bait-bait tersebut. Masalahnya beberapa anggota masyarakat berpendapat ada bait-bait kakawin yang biasa dipakai mengiringi upacara kematian, tidak boleh dinyanyikan di pura. Di samping itu juga cara menembangkan kakawin belum baik dan benar. Hal ini juga terjadi di desa Susut, Bangli. Setelah dikaji, ternyata mereka salah memahami makna filosofis bait-bait kakawin tersebut. Hasilnya, semua bait kakawin bisa dinyanyikan di pura karena salah satu fungsinya sebagai sarana berdoa. Setiap upacara yadnya diiringi dengan melantunkan bait-bait kakawin yang telah disesuaikan substansi makna dari bait-bait tersebut dengan yadnya yang diiringi. Demikian pula mereka baru tahu bahwa menembangkan kakawin ada aturannya. Kata kunci: kakawin, yadnya, doa, guru-lagu. 1.Pendahuluan Kakawin dan parwa merupakan karya sastra Jawa Kuna yang hidup subur pada zaman Majapahit. Ketika Majapahit jatuh dan masuknya agama Islam, maka karya sastra kakawin banyak yang diselamatkan di Bali yang masih satu kepercayaan dengan Majapahit yaitu Hindu (Zoetmulder, 1983). Dari segi bentuk, kakawin berbentuk puisi dengan persyaratan (prosodi) satu bait terdiri dari empat baris yang diikat dengan guru-lagu.

  • Monkey-Ear Mushrooms.Pdf
    114 Telling Tales from Southeast Asia and Korea: Teachers’ Guide 115 Telling Tales from Southeast Asia and Korea: Teachers’ Guide Monkey-ear Mushrooms (Laos) Once, Queen Sida wanted to have a meal of tiger-ear mushrooms. But in the Northern Lao language this mushroom is called monkey-ear mushrooms. Queen Sida asked the Monkey King, Hanuman, to go search for the mushrooms for her from the mountain of Oudomxay. “Could you please go and get the mushrooms from Oudomxay Mountain for me?” said Queen Sida. “Yes, my Lady,” answered Hanuman. So Hanuman flew to Oudomxay Mountain and gathered some mushrooms for Queen Sida. He returned with a basket full of mushrooms for her. But Queen Sida looked at the mushrooms and said, “Oh no, this is not the kind of mushroom I would like to have. Please go and bring some others.” She did not want to say that she really wanted monkey-ear mushrooms for she thought that it would offend Hanuman, who is, after all, a monkey. “Yes, my Lady,” said Hanuman. He soared to the sky to pick up more mushrooms in Oudomxay Mountain. After awhile he returned with another basket full of mushrooms for Queen Sida. She again examined the mushrooms. “Oh no, this is still not the kind of mushrooms I would like to have. Please go bring some other kinds.” 116 Telling Tales from Southeast Asia and Korea: Teachers’ Guide “Yes, my Lady,” said Hanuman. He soared to the sky to pick more mushrooms in Oudomxay Mountain.

Most of his works, especially Serat Kalatidha, Serat Sabdapranawa, and Serat Sabdatama, was situated during the era of uncertainty and the era of zaman edan (age of insanity), kalabendu (age of anger), owah or pakewuh (age of strangeness). The social structure in this era was seen the apparent rise of unethical behavior. Elite communities were seen to be lacking in self-respenct, meanwhile the general population were regarded as ignoring basic public morality. New ethical notion emerged to set society free from ‘uncertainty’ through the implementation of four ethical doctrines in social life, namely monotheism, purba wasesa ing astane Gusti (submission to God’s predestination), muhung mahas ing asepi (self-contemplation), and eling lan waspada (self-awareness and mindfulness). The current situation of the Indonesian nation is very similar to the age of kalabendu. Thus it is necessary to disseminate and transform of ethical doctrines in the Islamic Higher Education through Islamic Ethic, in the form of textbooks.

  • Ramayan Ki Kathayen, Pandemic and the Hindu Way of Life and the Contribution of Hindu Women, Amongst Others
    Hindu Sevika Samiti (UK) Mahila Shibir 2020 East and South Midlands Vibhag FOREWORD INSPIRING AND UNPRECEDENTED INITIATIVE In an era of mass consumerism - not only of material goods - but of information, where society continues to be led by dominant and parochial ideas, the struggle to make our stories heard, has been limited. But the tides are slowly turning and is being led by the collaborative strength of empowered Hindu women from within our community. The Covid-19 pandemic has at once forced us to cancel our core programs - which for decades had brought us together to pursue our mission to develop value-based leaders - but also allowed us the opportunity to collaborate in other, more innovative ways. It gives me immense pride that Hindu Sevika Samiti (UK) have set a new precedent for the trajectory of our work. As a follow up to the successful Mahila Shibirs in seven vibhags attended by over 500 participants, 342 Mahila sevikas came together to write 411 articles on seven different topics which will be presented in the form of seven e-books. I am very delighted to launch this collection which explores topics such as: The uniqueness of Bharat, Ramayan ki Kathayen, Pandemic and the Hindu way of life and The contribution of Hindu women, amongst others. From writing to editing, content checking to proofreading, the entire project was conducted by our Sevikas. This project has revealed hidden talents of many mahilas in writing essays and articles. We hope that these skills are further encouraged and nurtured to become good writers which our community badly lacks.

  • Pluralisme Agama Dalam Kakawin Sutasoma
    48 PLURALISME AGAMA DALAM KAKAWIN SUTASOMA Hasan Irsyad; M. Ridlwan; Pheni Cahya Kartika Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa dan Sastra Indonesia Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Muhammadiyah Surabaya [email protected] ABSTRAK Penelitian ini berfokus pada pluralisme agama dalam Kakawin Sutasoma serta Bhinneka Tunggal Ika dalam konteks asli Kakawin Sutasoma. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendiskripsikan konsep pluralisme agama yang diajarkan Kakawin Sutasoma dan Bhinneka Tunggal Ika sesuai dengan konteks asli Kakawin Sutasoma. Untuk menemukan pluralisme agama dalam Kakawin Sutasoma, digunakan tiga prinsip pluralisme agama Coward. Penelitian ini berbentuk penelitian kualitatif. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan studi pustaka, sedangkan analisis data dilakukan secara diskriptif. Dokumen yang digunakan adalah Kakawin Sutasoma terjemahan Dwi Woro Retno Mastuti dan Hastho Bramantyo yang diterbitkan Komunitas Bambu pada 2009. Penelitian berhasil mengidentifikasi adanya pluralisme agama Siwa- Buddha dalam Kakawin Sutasoma yang bercirikan toleransi dan saling menghormati antaragama, Tuhan dianggap sebagai hakikat tunggal yang berwujud jamak, agama- agama dianggap setara dan semuanya baik sebagai jalan menuju kebenaran, serta pengabsahan Buddha sebagai perwujudan Siwa lebih ditekankan daripada sebaliknya. Penelitian juga mendapati bahwa Bhinneka Tunggal Ika dalam Kakawin Sutasoma adalah ungkapan yang mengajarkan pluralisme agama. Bhinneka Tunggal Ika dalam Kakawin Sutasoma berbeda dengan Bhinneka Tunggal Ika sebagai semboyan negara. Sebagai semboyan negara, Bhinneka Tunggal Ika cakupannya diperluas dan tidak mengajarkan pluralisme agama. Kata Kunci: bhinneka tunggal ika, kakawin sutasoma, pluralisme agama PENDAHULUAN Dewasa ini agama-agama di dunia mendapat tantangan dari paham-paham beragama baru yang berkembang seperti sekularisme agama dan pluralisme agama. Di Indonesia, paham-paham tersebut mendapat perhatian serius dari tokoh-tokoh dan organisasi-organisasi keagamaan, salah satunya Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI).

  • 421 Reference
    420 Wacana, Vol. 12 No. 2 (October 2010) BOOK REVIEWS 421 in Indonesian might have been used. Then on page 163, there is mention of “toko P&D”, which is from the Dutch Provisiën en Dranken, meaning a "store selling daily necessities and drinks". Today it is the equivalent to a small supermarket. Then there are a few more little things that still need to be looked into. On page 191, for gadis Eurasia it is more common in Indonesian to use gadis Indo; pasangan penari, should be pasangan pedansa To conclude, this is a highly interesting book, telling in their own words the experiences of a variety of women who have one thing in common: they are, or are considered by others, ethnic Chinese in varying degrees, or as in Jane’s case, closely associated with an ethnic Chinese. Basically, the book explores the problem of identity and Chineseness, a topic that has become very important in view of the spread (some people see it as the threat) of globalism. Studies on this topic abound and many more will probably be written. Dewi Anggraeni’s book is a valuable contribution in this search for identity and I suggest a very readable one.
