As of 4 September 2023.
English: Javanese manuscripts form the largest portion of the 500 Indonesian manuscripts in the British Library, with around 20 manuscripts in Old Javanese and 240 in modern Javanese, written in Javanese characters (hanacaraka) or in modified Arabic script (pegon). About 200 are written on paper, either of European or Chinese manufacture or locally-made Javanese treebark paper (dluwang), while 55 are on palm leaf. There are also two sets of Old Javanese copper charters and one document on bamboo. The collection is rich in works on history, ethics, literature and wayang (shadow theatre) tales, and also contains many Islamic works and court papers. Most of the manuscripts (excepting those with Or. shelfmarks) were [looted] during the British administration of Java (1811-1816).

Weatherbee also documents how the IOL numbers – source of many of the present-day British Library ‘MSS Jav’ shelfmarks – derive from the randomly-assigned numbering system made by Keyzer in 1853.

Manuscripts from the palace library of Yogyakarta probably account for half of Mackenzie's collection; in his own words, ‘others were purchased and collected on the tour through that island: some were presented by Dutch colonists and by regents, and others are transcripts by Javanese writers employed by Colonel Mackenzie to copy them from the originals in the hands of the regents and with their permission’ (Weatherbee 2018: 82). On a tour of Central and East Java he received manuscripts from the regents of Grěsik (MSS Jav 12) and Lasěm (MSS Jav 29), and in Madura from Panembahan Nata Kusuma of Suměněp. In Semarang in July 1812, MSS Jav 17, containing two texts, Panji (Angrèni) and Angling Darma, was copied from an original belonging to the Adipati of Kudus, and it was in Semarang that Mackenzie met Kyahi Adipati Sura Adimanggala, who also presented him with manuscripts.

Javanese Manuscripts from Yogyakarta Digitisation Project (2017-2019)

In 2019, through the support of Mr S P Lohia, 75 Javanese manuscripts from Yogyakarta now held in the British Library were digitised. The manuscripts (identified by Merle Ricklefs in 1988, see his annotated listing here) comprise 61 taken by British troops following an armed assault on the Palace (Kraton) of Yogyakarta in June 1812 by forces under the command of Thomas Stamford Raffles; nine others believed to be from Yogyakarta, and five possibly from Yogyakarta. At a ceremony at the Kraton of Yogyakarta on 7 March 2019 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the accession to the throne of Sultan Hamengku Buwono X, complete sets of the 30,000 digital images were presented to Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono X, and also to to the National Library (Perpustakaan Nasional) of Indonesia, and the Libraries and Archives Service of Yogyakarta (Dinas Perpustakaan dan Arsip DIY), by the British Ambassador to Indonesia, Moazzam Malik.

The largest portion, comprising 46 manuscripts, derive from the collections of Colonel Colin Mackenzie (1754-1821), a Scottish army officer in the British East India Company who later became the first Surveyor General of India. From 1811 to 1813 Mackenzie served in the British administration of Java under Thomas Stamford Raffles, and was Chief Engineer of the British army during the attack on Yogyakarta in June 1812. After the assault on the kraton (palace) of Yogyakarta, the manuscripts taken from the royal library were shared out between Raffles, John Crawfurd and Mackenzie. Following Mackenzie’s death in Calcutta in 1821, his Javanese manuscripts, together with his vast collections relating to the history, languages and cultures of south India, were sent to the India Office Library in London, and now form part of the British Library collections.
