cod. 3698 (= 3874), 3883, 3986, 5195. 16.840 Notes on Muslim religious subjects, Javanese-Balinese, in verse: cod. 3892, 9000. 16.900 Islamic religious texts from Lombok (still group E, 14.000). In Lombok in the Muslim community a distinction was made between Waktu Tëlu and Waktu Lima people (see: G. H. Bous- quet, “Recherches sur les deux sectes “musulmanes (“waktou telou” et “waktou “lima”) de Lombok”. Revue des Etudes Is- lamiques, Paris, 1939, 2). The names, Three Times and Five Times, were believed to refer to the number of obligatory ritual prayers, salats, to be said every day by the faithful. Perhaps the distinction in two groups is a survival of a preTslamic indi genous bipartition of tribal society, which has been found in several islands of the Archipel ago (see Duyvendak, “Het Kakéan verbond “van Céram”). Manuscripts containing texts referring to the Waktu Tëlu and Waktu Lima division have been registered under the head History of Lombok (22.700) in Part Two of the present Synopsis. In modern times the spread of Islamic orthodoxism caused the old distinction and the old names to disappear. The Muslims of Lombok, converted pro bably in the seventeenh century, developed a literature in their native tongue, the Sasak language. This Sasak literature falls outside the scope of the present Synopsis of Java nese literature; it is not discussed here. Since the conquest of their island in the eighteenth century, the Sasaks lived under Balinese rule. They had frequent contacts with Balinese people, among them Muslims.

So Javanese-Balinese Islamic religious texts spread in Lombok, and several manuscripts from Lombok contain treatises originally written in Bali. On the other hand Sasaks also used to visit the neighbouring island. After a time, speaking Balinese, they felt at home there. It is not easy to make a distinction be tween the Javanese-Balinese Islamic texts of Balinese origin and those from Lombok. The manuscripts from Lombok which have been registered contain rather non-descript texts on Islamic theology and mysticism, probably imitations of treatises of Javanese, Balinese or Malay origin. Javanese-Balinese texts containing explicit information on the Waktu Tëlu and Waktu Lima division, other than the histories of Lombok mentioned above (see 22.700), are not known to the present author. (See, however, cod. 6235, in Malay). In Part Three, Belles-Lettres, some Java nese-Balinese romances from Lombok, part ly showing influence of Islam, will be dis cussed (30.430). Manuscripts containing relevant texts have been listed in the General Index under the catchword Lombok. 16.910 Notes on Muslim theology and mys ticism, prose, from Lombok: cod. 5149, REM 2410-18, Teeuw 13. 16.920 Didactic poems on Islam and Mus lim mysticism, from Lombok: cod. 5280, 10.329 (Gunutj Jati: Krt 10.065), 10.347 (Lala Dunya: Krt 10.099), dHMvO 1251. 16.930 Paqcran Sajqu Pati, didactic poem on Islam: cod. 10.338 (Krt 10.087).
