This publication presents a remarkable example, from the poetical literature of Middle Javanese, in an edited text with English translation and an extensive commentary. The aim is to acquaint a wider audience with this literature, in the hope of drawing attention to its fascinating qualities. Set principally in the Singhasari area of East Java, the narrative follows the journey of the lovers, Pañji Margasmara and Ken Candrasari, offering a glimpse of the beauty of the Javanese landscape in the 15th century. The cultural, historical and archaeological details preserved in the text help to shed light on the closing years of Majapahit, a largely unexplored period in Javanese history, before the age of Islam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface   Illustrations   Abbreviations      Part 1: Text and Translation By Stuart Robson   Introduction    Background    Dating    Sources    Metre and Music    The Literary Context    On Gardens, Parks and Other Architecture    Language and Translation    Costume    Kidung Pañji Margasmara, Dramatis Personae      Text and Translation      Textual Notes      Variant Readings      Lexicographical List      Bibliography      PART 2: Notes on History and Topography By Hadi Sidomulyo   Introduction      Topographical Notes      Historical Aspects and General Conclusions      Appendix 1: A Note on the Fifteenth Century Kadipaten of Singhasari      Appendix 2: Kidung Pañji Margasmara – Chronological Table      Appendix 3: List of Toponyms Occurring in the KPM   Bibliography   Plates   Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210852327767,"sku":"9789004523692","price":134.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/kidung-panji-margasmara-a-middle-javanese-romance-9789004523692","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
