- Seribu maksa, Malay text from South Sumatra
- Scope & Content:
-
Seribu maksa, a conversation between the Prophet (Nebi Rasululah) and Sayih Wali Mahemat. Text in South-Sumatran literary Malay in Lampung script (since the MS has a symbol for ĕ (pĕpĕt), the script is Lampung, not rencong).
A typed sheet is present, containing Voorhoeve's revision of the order of the bamboo strips, based upon the same text as found in the National Library of Indonesia, Jakarta, MS E 86.
