Back to the world atlas

The 1725 Bali and 1808 Surakarta entries on the Indonesia page identify two manuscripts in the Panji story cycle. The 1864 Leiden entry documents the Surakarta copy’s passage into a library. This distinction lets readers separate a different telling from a change in where a manuscript is kept.
