Allegorical tales as a means of spreading religious and moralistic lessons are found already in Old Javanese literature. In the Islamic period mystic songs, suluks, often contain allegories. Birds are well-known personages appearing in discus sions on mystic subjects, but the bird poems cannot be called strictly allegorical. In the eighteenth century some allegorical

romances containing religious and moralistic instruction were written in the Pasisir dis tricts of Java. Some influence of Muslim religious edifying literature in Arabic or in Malay, introduced from abroad, seems probable. In the same period several Islamic ro mances were written in the Pasisir districts (see Part Three, Belles-Lettres 30.560 ff., Johar Manikam, Johar Sah etc.). Inter relationship of the present allegorical poems with those, merely romantical tales is likely.
