Tropenmuseum, Amsterdam 856-1
Text based on the edition of F.H. van Naerssen, “Twee koperen oorkonden van Balitung in het Koloniaal Instituut te Amsterdam”, BKI 95 (1937), 441-461. Readings verified on the basis of digital photographs of the plate 856-1 supplied by the Tropenmuseum, Amsterdam. The plate is fairly corroded and the photographs don’t always allow objective reading of unclear passages. Unless there seemed reason to doubt van Naerssen’s readings, they have been given the benefit of the doubt. On several occasions, we read v where van Naerssen read b; variants readings of this type, and those which only concern h/ṁ and ṅ/ṁ are not recorded in our apparatus. The text of Sarkar (Corpus of the Inscriptions of Java) was compared and found not to differ from van Naerssen’s except for rare printing mistakes. These variant readings have not been reported either. The scribe is unusually sloppy, compared to other plates from the same period. Similar akṣaras or markers are confused with each other, probably on an even larger scale than appears from the edition, based as it is on imperfect photographs of a somewhat corroded original, so that benefit of the doubt may too often have rendered normal/correct a reading that is actually substandard or plain wrong. Blue color is used to mark differences from van Naerssen’s edition not recorded in apparatus.
Ideally, to be read again directly from the plate in Amsterdam.
