Summary
[edit]DescriptionMenak Amir Hamza - BSB Cod Jav 2592 (page 163 crop).jpg |
Deutsch: Die Abenteuergeschichten um den frühen islamischen Helden Ḥamza Ibn Abū Muṭṭlib, den Onkel des Propheten Mohammed, sind in der javanischen Literatur besonders ausführlich und breit ausgeschmückt nacherzählt worden. In Java ist er als Ménak beziehungsweise als Amir Ambyah bekannt. Die Legenden in Gedichtform spielen zu Lebzeiten des Propheten Mohammed. In dieser Handschrift in javanischer und arabisch-javanischer Schrift (pégon) kommen einige Hauptepisoden der Ménak-Geschichte vor, beispielsweise der Krieg mit dem König von Lakad und der Krieg in Talsamat. Der Schreiber datiert die Fertigstellung der Handschrift auf den 13. des Fastenmonats Ramadan im Jahre 1795 javanischer Zeitrechnung, also den 18. Januar 1867. Die Kunst der Buchmalerei die gerade in dieser Periode in Yogyakarta eine Blütezeit erlebte, findet hier ausgiebig ihren Ausdruck: Bemerkenswert sind die verschiedenen hochsymbolischen Wadana, also Zierseiten, die jeweils am Anfang oder Schlss einzelner Abschnitte vorkommen. Oft handelt es sich dabei um illustrierte Seiten mit architektonischen Motiven, welche Tempeln (Candi) nachempfunden sind. Leider haben Tintenfraßschäden einige Seiten unleserlich gemacht. // Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Orient- und Asienabteilung, 2019
English: The adventures of the early Islamic hero Hamza, the uncle of the Prophet Muhammad, are a favorite subject of Javanese literature in which the deeds of the hero, here called Ménak, are retold. The Javanese legends are written in poetic form and relate the stories as occurring during the lifetime of the Prophet. This manuscript, written in the Javanese and Pégon (Arabic–Javanese) alphabets, contains a number of the main episodes in the tales of Hamza. The codex offers a prime example of the art of book illumination that flourished during this period in Yogyakarta, a city and sultanate on the Indonesian island of Java and a traditional center of Javanese culture. Particularly remarkable are the various highly symbolic wadana, ornamentally decorated pages at the beginning or the end of separate text passages. These are often illustrated with architectural motifs representing temples. Unfortunately, several pages of the manuscript have been obliterated by ink corrosion. The manuscript is at the Bavarian State Library in Munich, Germany. // Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Oriental and Asia Department, 2019 |
