13 x 17 cm Javanese 18 lines Travels of mas juragan Soma Rëja of Wana Rëja, Banumas, together with mas hajji Abdur Rakim bin Malik, in 1883 and ’84. Having received a summons of pai}éran Suryèryalaga to come to Yogyakarta, they set out from Wana Rëja for that city, but al ready in Kuta Arja (p. 19) they were told that the pai}éran (who had the purpose to organize an insurrection against the Dutch government) was arrested. He was to be exiled. In Yogyakarta the two men heard from the people of the Sultan’s Court how the Dutch Resident had nipped the pa^eran’s enterprise in the bud. Nevertheless wishing to join him, Soma Rëja and Abdur Rakim changed their names into raden Rakmat and hajji Nur Jali (p. 48) and set out from Yogyakarta to Magëlat}, and further via Sëmarai} to Surabaya and Madura, Bai}- kalan. They had many adventures, mainly in the circles of kyahis and santris (men of religion). The cause of Suryèrjalaga seems to fall into the background. The story ends abruptly in Barjkalan. Copy of a ms. belonging to Mr J. J. Meyer, Assistant-Resident of Banumas, 1907, made for Dr Hazeu. The story is told in t}oko, in prose, with many dialectical words and bad spelling. The style is prolix; nevertheless it makes interesting reading. Cf. cod. 6756. Coll. Hazeu, 1931.
