Many books of notes and compendiums contain genealogies, in the Islamic period mostly called Sajarah. Often the beginning is mythic and legendary. In accordance with the major Babads, Royal genealogies as a rule begin with Adam. Bipartition of Panëqën, right hand, Muslim prophets’ ancestry, and Paqiwa, left hand, Indian epic and heroic ancestry, is apparent (see 24.500). Nevertheless in the later ge nerations many genealogies may contain trustworthy information. It is difficult to ascertain, however, at what time the trust worthiness begins. Under the present head manuscripts con taining genealogical texts mostly referring to Central Javanese Royal and noble families °f the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

have been collected. Genealogies of other groups have been registered under preceding heads: 21.200 (Bali) and 22.200ff. (Local histories and genealogies of Java). References to manuscripts containing information on the subject are to be found in the General Index under the catchword genealogy. 28.610 Genealogy of Kings, Surakarta ori gin: cod. 5591-11 (= 10.679 = BCB prtf 161), 8612 (Sajarah Dalem), 8617 b, AdKIT 2522/1. 28.620 Genealogy of Kings, Yogyakarta origin: cod. 2177, 8578, 8807. 28.630 Portraits of Royal ancestors, wayaj} style: cod. 10.935. 28.640 Raqga Warsita genealogy: cod. NBS 81-VII (= 10.640 = BCB prtf 78). 28.800 Javanese Biographies. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries some Javanese biographies were written, probably in part at the instance of Dutch scholars. Many Javanese historical texts contain bio graphical elements, but the idea of writing a book solely on the life of one man and that not even a King, seems alien to the spirit of Javanese literature, which is not interested in individuals but in social and cosmic order. Biographical elements are also found in some tales of travellers, which in the present Synopsis have been registered in Part Three, Belles-Lettres (see 31.440). The well-known biography of Abdul Kadir Jailani, the venerated Muslim saint, has been listed in Part One, Religion, because
