Details

Alternative titleHikayat Amir Hamzah.DateBetween 1900 - 1930DescriptionJavanese lontar manuscript verse poem in tembang alit metre (among others the gagak amanis metre can be identified). The repeated mention of the figure Rengganis suggests this may be an extract from the Menak cycle of stories, a Javanese version of the "Amir Hamzah" story; apparently a continuous extract from the text. It was probably produced in West Lombok, or possibly in Bali. There is no explicit date, but from the script and condition of the manuscript the date can be estimated as the early 20th century. Incised and inked in Sasak script, showing multiple hands. Title devised by cataloguer, information about the manuscript supplied by the Professor of Southeast Asian Studies, School of languages and Cultures, University of Sydney.PublisherWest Lombok? : producer not identifiedLanguageJavSubjectManuscripts, JavanesePalm-leaf manuscriptsPalm-leaf inscriptionsPoetryGeographic coverageWest LombokBaliCall numberAdd.
