- Custodial History:
- According to the donor Michael Goodwin (a solicitor from Leeds), the four MSS (Or. 14606, Or. 14607, Or. 14608 and Or. 14609) had been given to his late father by an Indian doctor; no further information on provenance is available. A paper label, probably from a book seller (with an erroneous description of the contents), is affixed to the cover of Or. 14608: ‘Rare manuscripts. Four palm leaf books, formerly belonging to the ex-Sultan of the Tidore Islands (D.E.I.) [i.e. Dutch East Indies], said to refer to some very old facts regarding the invasion of the archipelago by Hindus, and the subsequent, but now extinct, kingdom of the powerful Modjopait of Java’.
