Unidentified Balinese text
- Scope & Content:
-
Unidentified Balinese narrative text.
The text is complete and is numbered in Balinese numerals. Comments from R. Rubinstein (20.5.2008), based on photographs: ‘The manuscript is clearly narrative, but I cannot identify it …The scribe/author appears to have nice handwriting - usually a good indication. It could be from Bali or Lombok. One interesting feature is that the 1st and 4th lines of writing continue right across the manuscript, past the position of the hole and string in the middle, unlike the 2nd and 3rd lines. I have seen this occasionally, but it is not the norm in Bali.’
