“BALINESE LONTAR” Demonstration
In Indonesia the palm-leaf manuscript is called lontar. The Indonesian word is the modern form of Old Javanese rontal. It is composed of two Old Javanese words, namely ron “leaf” and tal “Borassus abellifer, palmyra palm”. Due to the shape of the palmyra palm’s leaves, which are spread like a fan, these trees are also known as “fan trees”. The leaves of the rontal tree have always been used for many purposes, such as for the making of plaited mats, palm sugar wrappers, water scoops, ornaments, ritual tools, and writing material. Today, the art of writing in rontal still survives in Bali, performed by Balinese Brahmin as a sacred duty to rewrite Hindu texts. Balinese palm-leaf manuscript of Kakawin Arjunawiwāha.
