    Scholarly attention for Old Javanese literature so far has mainly focused on poetry. The apparently simple nature of narrative prose texts, while making them excellent sources for linguistic and lexicographic research, at the same time denies them any literary value. In this article an impression is given of the art of storytelling in one Old Javanese prose story, taken from the Adiparwa of around A.D. 1000. Quite unexpectedly, a sophisticated tradition unfolds in which a rich variety of devices enables the storyteller to create a meaningful world of words

    Old Javanese literatures are rich of themes which mostly are related to way of lives, goodness values and ideas, which unfortunately is not easy to understand their meaning because they were often written in philosophical phrases. We have to accept the fact that study on Old Javanese literature are mostly focused on its formal aspects such as the composing basic principles and story line. While on the other side, studies of reliefs based on Old Javanese literature at Hindu-Buddhist monuments are often focused on the physical appearance, carving style, and measurement aspects. This paper is intended to reveal the hidden meanings of some Old Javanese literature as depicted in the Old Javanese sacred monuments from the 13th—15th century using what is called semiosis process. The study is based on the Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic theory. The trichotomy structure (sihn—referent—interpretant) is used in analyzing the meanings behind the carved stories and the composing of the story itself.&nbsp

    Eugenius Marius Uhlenbeck – Bob as he was known to his friends – was a multifacited (or many-sided) and multi-talented person.

    The sometimes precarious position of the Chinese in Indonesia has a long history. The (most probably) nineteenth-century author, Apdul Mutalip, advocated a more balanced view by pointing out some fundamental contributions the Chinese had made to the welfare of the Javanese; he also demonstrates that their presence in Java has a basis in law. Although seems like a poem in Javanese metre, his Sajarah Cina, written in Javanese, is remarkable not only for its subject matter but also for the way the material is presented, in a rhetoric unknown to exist in Javanese literature by most scholars
