modalities, and divination regulating aus picious times for it, are several times men tioned in manuscripts registered under the present head. Of course, in Javanese literature, poems and tales describing erotic situations are very much in evidence. As a matter of fact, descriptions of this kind are to be found in almost every important mythic, epic, histori cal and romantic Javanese text. Moreover smaller literary texts, in verse and in prose, exclusively dealing with some erotic situation, are not lacking. Some texts of the latter cate gory could be called frankly pornographic. In the present Synopsis love-poems, erotic romances, erotic tales and the like have been classed in Part Three (Belles-Lettres). It seems probable that in many cases authors of such literary texts had a good knowledge of various “scientific” treatises on eroticism as registered under the present head. In Old Javanese and Javanese-Balinese literature some rather elaborate texts on eroticism, especially referring to sexual in tercourse, are known. Relation with Sanskrit texts is probable. Moreover in Javanese- Balinese manuscripts notes on this subject are frequent. In the Islamic period primbons also rather frequently have notes on ero ticism, some of them connected with Islamic Tradition ( c Ali and Pratimah, i.e. Fatima). Some modern Javanese texts, registered under the present head, connect eroticism with the indigenous kind of mystic Muslim speculations (Niti Mani). Local Javanese printers published several booklets on eroticism and sexual intercourse. The Niti Mani text also was published in several editions.
