Archive: Lontar Archive

The Universitas Udayana in Denpasar, Bali, has amassed an impressive collection of "lost" Lontar over the years. With help from Ringing Rocks Foundation, several of its departments have completed a project which preserves thirteen Lontar on a 3-CD set. Each Lontar has been digitally photographed and translated from the Kawi inscribed on the leaves into modern Balinese and English. Kawi is an ancient Javanese language derived from Sanskrit. Currently, 13 Lontar from the 3-CD set are viewable at the Ringing Rocks online archive.

Caution: images of the Lontars need to be high resolution for legibility and might take some time to download if Internet connection is not high speed.
