A number of pantun Sunda or Sundanese pantun stories were compiled and published at the instruction of K. F. Holle and C. M. Pleyte1 at the beginning of this century.But since then little effort has been made to continue their program.To the best of my knowledge, only one pantun story has been written down and published since World War II, the Ratu Bungsu Karma Jaya (The Youngest King Karma Jaya).It was chanted by a pantun bard called Taswan from Kuningan and was tran scribed by R. S. Wirananggapati.2However it is said that a man called Mochtar Kala inherited a collection of "Pantun Bogor" from his ances tors, which were written down in the pre-World War II period, but only part of one pantun story has been published, the Dadap Malang di Sisi Simandiri.3This scarcity of published pantun explains why the Sun danese themselves need to refer to the material published by Holle and Pleyte.(For instance, Drs.Atja corrected Pleytefs transcription of the Lutung Kasarung as written down by Argasasmita.4)* Pantun Sunda is a type of performance in West Java in which a musical instrument called pantun, a kind of kecapi (a stringed instrument played by plucking) is used.To the accompaniment of the kecapi, and sometimes also of the flute, the tarawangsa (a stringed instrument played like a violin), or other instrument, the pantun bard narrates a lengthy story.The story usually describes the adven tures of a prince of Pajajaran, a pre-Islamic kingdom which existed in West Java up to the beginning of the sixteenth century.The verse narration is chanted the whole night through, starting around 7:30 p.m. and ending just before daybreak.For more details about the pantun, see F
