LISTS OF JAVANESE MANUSCRIPTS IN THE LIBRARY OF THE MUSEUM PUSAT KEBUDAJAAN INDONESIA, DJAKARTA, formerly called “Museum van het Koninklijk Bataviaas Genootschap van Kunsten en Wetenschappen”. 50.050 The collections of Javanese manuscripts have been catalogued by the late professor Poerbatjaraka and the present author. The catalogue and lists were published in the “Jaarboeken” (Annual Reports) of the Koninklijk Bataviaas Genootschap, 1933, and fol lowing years, and in “Indonesische Handschriften”, 1950 (see 50.002). The “Jaarboeken” III-X contain sparse notes on Javanese manuscripts in the possession of the KBG which, by mistake, were not given codex numbers. They are not registered nor described by Poerbatjaraka. These manuscripts have not been entered into the present lists, which are mainly concerned with the consolidated KBG collections which are described in Poerbatj araka’s publications. The following lists contain only abridged names of the texts, with the codex numbers, of the consolidated KBG collections. In some cases the names of the texts as mentioned in the Dutch catalogues have been modified so as to be in accordance with the nomenclature in the present book. The spelling of Javanese names in the Dutch book has been changed in conformity with the English transcription system used in the present book. The third column contains references to' the pages of the KBG “Jaarboeken” (J33, J3^ etc.) where the manuscripts are mentioned (see 50.002). Moreover references to the pages of IH (Indonesische Handschriften, 1950) and to those manuscripts in the collection of the Leiden University Library (LOr), which are copies of the KBG manuscripts registered in the present lists, are inserted. In a few cases KBG manuscripts are copies of Leiden manuscripts. These cases have been indicated too. Several codexes are copies of manuscripts belonging to the same or to other collections- In the following list the numbers of the original manuscripts are mentioned, between brackets.
