Supplement to the SYSTEMATIC SURVEY OF JAVANESE MANUSCRIPTS, Synopsis of Javanese Literature, in Volume I, 1967.

The collection Hooykaas-Këtut Saqka, from Bali, forms the bulk of the recent acquisitions which are registered in this supplementary volume to the Catalogue Raisonné of 1967-’70. (See the introduction to LOr 12.657). It should be borne in mind that the titles of the copies of palmleaf manuscripts which belong to this collection do not always cover the contents. The original palmleaf manuscripts have seldom titles, they are sometimes mere books of notes. The titles were given by the Balinese copyists. Therefore the items of the collection Hooykaas-Këtut Sarjka have been registered in the paragraphs of the following Systematic Survey according to their real contents, setting aside occasional inappropriate titles. The items of the collection Hooykaas-Këtut Saqka were (partly) given consecutive numbers in Bali before their dispatch to Europe, Australia or the U.S.A. For the convenience of students in libraries outside Leiden which possess copies of the Balinese collection a reference list of the Balinese dispatch numbers and the Leiden codex numbers (LOr) is added at the end of this volume. By means of this reference list it is possible to use the information on Javanese literature provided in the present book while studying any item of the Balinese collection in a library abroad. A considerable number of the copies of manuscripts of the collection Hooykaas-Këtut Sagka appears also in the list of manuscripts of the Yayasan Kirtya of Siqaraja, Bali, which was published in “Literature of Java”, vol. II, 1968, pp. 913-972. The Kirtya registration numbers of the recently acquired Leiden codices are mentioned between brackets (Krt) in the following Systematic Survey and also in the Descriptive List of Manuscripts and the General Index. Moreover a reference list of Kirtya registration numbers and Leiden codex numbers (LOr) is added at the end of this book. It is a supplement to the list in volume II, mentioned above. The “Addenda belonging to Volume One, Synopsis of Javanese Literature” which were first published in Volume Three of “Literature of Java”, 1970, p. 90-102, are now incorporated in the following Supplement to the Systematic Survey. The codices which belong to the legacy Kraemer (already registered in volume III) and the collection Moens (see the introduction to LOr 12.507-12.577) have expressly been indicated as such, both in the following Systematic Survey and in the General Index of
