(summary of contents). This palmleaf ms, written in Lombok in Saka 1809, A.D. 1887, has many stanzas in common with the Arjlir; Darma episode in the Major Sërat Kanda (codex KBG no 7 LOr 6379). Worth noting in the Lombok version are, moreover, the allusions to the preaching of Islam in Boja Nagara and the Moslim holy men’s controversy with adherents of the Agama Këlig . Versions of the Aglirj Darma tales were apparently popular in the sphere of the Pasisir culture at the time of the spreading of Islam in the 16th century. In this respect they are comparable with the numerous offshoots of the Ménak Amir Hamza tale, the major Islamic epic of Javanese and Malay literature. The romanized copy of the Lombok palmleaf ms. was presented to the LUB by Dr Drewes in 1977. 14.492 10.850 37 x 3,5 cm out- Javanese buda or
