But then, in consequence of political troubles (the British interregnum and the Dipa Nagara war), Yogyakarta literature did not develop as exuberantly as Surakarta pujav,ga letters did. Court literature in Yogyakarta was partly written by members of the Paku Alaman princely family. Pape ran Surya Nagara was an important author. The Yogyakarta liter ary idiom was in some respects different from that of Surakarta.

Dr Gericke was a delegate of the Netherlands Bible Society of Amsterdam. He made the first Javanese translation of the Bible. Winter and Wilkens were Government officials. They made a Javanese-Dutch dictionary. No doubt the presence of these Dutch scholars in Sura karta, maintaining during many years almost daily contacts with Javanese gentlemen of standing, noblemen and the Kings them selves, was not without influence on the development of Court literature. With the pujavgas’ epigones who lived in the second half of the nineteenth century,
