Never losing its fun, day by day, the Codicology lectures feel more and more enjoyable. Including Monday, April 21, 2025 yesterday. In this eleventh meeting, Javanese Language, Literature, and Culture students of the 2023 class were invited to practice stamping and sealing.

However, before practicing making stamps, students listened to material about the use of stamps and sealings in letters from the past. A letter stamp itself is a printed image, writing, or a combination of both on a letter or other important document. Its function is as a marker/identifying symbol that represents a person or group to indicate validity. In addition, a letter stamp also functions as a guarantee of the integrity (seal) of a letter. Materials that can be used for letter stamps are wax, clay, soot, or ink. read more

Wiwien Widyawati Rahayu, M.A., Javanese Language, Literature, and Culture students from the class of 2024 visited the Lajang Watjan (re: Layang Wacan) exhibition located at Bentara Budaya Yogyakarta. This assignment began with a group assignment. The groups that were formed departed individually, because there were still 2 days left of the exhibition, namely the 18th and 19th.

In the exhibition, what students observed were various books and manuscripts. After observing, students chose one material object to reveal its contents. One of them is Babad Pagedongan. In addition to revealing the contents of the book or manuscript, there was also a 1-minute short video assignment as proof that students had visited the exhibition. In addition to books, there were old manuscripts displayed on the walls and could not be touched because of their age.
