Wangsakerta manuscripts

Also known as Naskah Wangsakerta

The Wangsakerta manuscripts are a group of texts on the history of Java and the Indonesian archipelago attributed to Prince Wangsakerta of Cirebon in the late 17th century. They give detailed lists of kings and dates, including for Tarumanagara, but came to light only in the 1970s, and many historians doubt their authenticity. They are therefore used with great caution.
