Sajarah Kayon Madya, wayag purwa plays written by the dalaq Widi, describing the origin of the “middle” wayag kayons. The plays were composed for the use of Mr Moens who was asking for information on the Javanese wayaq stage properties.

LOr 12.525 contains 12 plays referring to wayar; purwa heroes from Dasa Muka of bjalërjka up to Déwa Kusuma, in connec tion with particular shapes of kayons. LOr 12.526 contains 23 plays describing the origin and the history of a group of kayons called Klitik, belonging to the period of the Majapahit kings. Still, epic heroes belong ing to the wayaij purwa period are men tioned also, which is confusing. LOr 12.527 contains 9 plays on kayons said to belong to the wayaq gëdog theatre, which covers the period of Javanese legen dary history subsequent to the era of the wayag purwa heroes, but the personages appearing in the 9 plays in fact belong to other periods. Radèn Patah, the first king of Dëmak, and A13U13 Darma, make their ap pearance. The country dalaq who wrote the plays for the use of Mr Moens was appar ently not well informed on the chronologi cal order of wayaq varieties as adopted by Court scholars, or he had his own ideas on the matter. 12.528/29 43.080 35,5 x23,5 cm out- 1451 and 1382 pp. side, 29 x 15 cm Javanese script writing, 16 and 16 full-page black-and- white illustrations in wayarj style, pendrawings 19 and 38 lines, thick import paper, lined, half leather, half black linen binding
