to have been on the increase (see 11.000). The tutur manuscripts of Bali often are compilations or books of notes. Beside trea tises on religious speculation they may con tain notes on various other subjects: magic, divination etc. In this respect they are com parable with the primbons, books of notes belonging to Islamic Javanese literature, which also may have contents of heteroge neous nature. Under the present head speculative Si waitic tuturs probably of Javanese origin have been collected. In many cases it is clear, however, that Balinese editors and copyists have been at work on the texts. As a rule the idiom cannot be called pure Old Javanese. It verges on the Javanese- Balinese, which in the Synopsis is the name for the Javanese idiom in use with Balinese scholars from about 1500 A.D. up to the present time (see 11.000). 10.410 Treatises on siwaitic religious spec ulation of Javanese origin: cod. 3860 (Tutur Sapta Bhuwana= 10.425, Tutur Sabda Pralina = 10.423 = BCB prtf 4). 10.420 Tutur Amërta KundalinI and other tuturs: cod. 5125, 5135 (Tutur Mula Dara = 10.609), 5139, 5154, 5188. 10.600 Tuturs, Old Javanese Buddhism. Javanese tuturs on Buddhist religious speculation again are less numerous than Siwaitic tuturs. On the whole Buddhist texts form only a small minority in Old Javanese and Javanese-Balinese literature compared with siwaitic texts. Under the present head a few manuscripts containing Buddhist tuturs have been regis

tered. It is to be borne in mind, however, that in the course of time the difference between Siwaism and Buddhism became in creasingly vague; so several manuscripts contain tuturs of both denominations. 10.610 Treatise on Buddhist religious spec ulation of Javanese origin: cod. 5146 (Tutur Kamahayanikan e.a. = 10.569 = BCB prtf 66). 10.620 Sat}yoga Darana: cod. 9445 (Krt 756). 10.630 Sat} Hyarj Pamutus: cod. 9762 (Krt 1398). 10.640 Kalpa Buddha, Panca Tathagata: cod. 9456 (Krt 776). 10.800 Non-Islamic religious texts from Java in buda, gunuv, script. Though since the sixteenth century Islam is the official religion of Java, probably for a long time in distant districts people still clung to old traditions, refusing to accept the authority of Muslim rulers and men of religion. The best known centre of Old Javanese religious conservatism is in the Tët}gër highlands in East Java, where also during the reign of the Majapahit Kings in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries people seem to have been tenacious in maintaining old religious customs. The Tëtjgër people and Tërjgër customs have been described by J. E. Jasper, Djawa vol. VI, VII and VIII, 1926-1928; see also the present author’s “Java in the XIVth Century” (references in vol. V, p. 241). Also in some districts of Central and West Java pre-Islamic belief and customs seem to have subsisted for a considerable time, for in the nineteenth century manuscripts con taining pre-Islamic religious lore were still
