10.040 Catur Yuga Widhi Sastra, or Brah- mokta Widhi Sastra, with slokas. cod. 5071, 9172 (Krt 156), 9344 (Krt 552). 10.050 Tatwa Jnana, with slokas: cod. 4466 (= 10.567 = BCB prtf 66), 9324 (Krt 490), 9483 (Krt 834). 10.070 Tiga Jnana, notes on religious spe culation, with slokas (cf. 10.840): cod. 9401 (Krt 670). 10.200 Buddhist texts belonging to the oldest stages of Old Javanese religious literature are scarcer than siwaitic ones. Nevertheless they are not lacking, and they soon attracted the attention of Dutch scholars. In the field of Buddhist religious speculation the Kamahayanikan is well- known. The text was mentioned by Juynboll (BKI vol. 60, 1908, Mahayana) and after wards edited and translated by Kats (Dutch, 1910) and partly re-edited and re-translated by Wulff (German, 1935). In the General Index several manuscripts containing refer ences to the texts have been registered under the catchword Kumuhaydnikan. Like the oldest siwaitic texts, the Kama hayanikan also consists of Sanskrit slokas with paraphrases and commentaries. Dr Goris (“Theologie”, p. 156) has ascribed both the oldest Buddhist texts and the oldest Siwaitic ones to authors living in the tenth or the eleventh century A.D. (and for the same reason, see 10.000). In some manu scripts Goris noted inserted paragraphs be longing to a later period. The name of the text bears evidence of the Mahayanistic character of Javanese Buddhism. On several occasions Tantristic rites were performed by the Buddhist priests. 10.210 Kamahayanan Mantranaya and Ka

mahayanikan, Old Javanese Buddhist texts, with, slokas: cod. 5068, 5083, 5129. 10.400 Tuturs, Old Javanese si- w a i s m. Old Javanese texts on religious speculation, either siwaitic or Buddhist, be longing to the later stages of this kind of literature (see 10.000) are by far more numerous than older texts. In the later stages Sanskrit slokas gradually disappeared and Old Javanese comments or notes became dominant. Finally independent treatises or notes on special subjects in the field of religious speculation made their appearance. In the pre-Islamic period books on religion and ethics in general were called tuturs: books of lessons. In fact many tuturs, espe cially those belonging to the later stages of development, are in the form of lessons given by a master to his pupil. In the present Synopsis the term is used for choice for Old Javanese and Javanese-Balinese treatises, both Siwaitic and Buddhist, belonging to those later stages of religious literature. In several cases it is difficult to ascertain whether a given tutur is of Old Javanese or Balinese origin, written after 1500 A.D. In the course of the centuries many Old Javanese texts were re-edited and provided with insertions and appendixes by Balinese authors. Nevertheless in the present Synop sis an attempt has been made to distinguish Old Javanese from Javanese-Balinese tuturs. The latter group is often recognizable by references to Bali and by a pronouncedly Javanese-Balinese idiom. In the Balinese period of Indian-Javanese religious literature the number of independent notes and theo logical treatises on special subjects seems
