- Title:
- Documents in Bugis and Malay
- Scope & Content:
-
A number of documents bound together, containing notes in Malay and Buginese on happenings in the last quarter of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century.
The Malay notes on f. 14 are translations from the diary of the king of Bone, Aḥmad aṣ-Ṣālih (1775-1812), and some of the Buginese notes were made by him or upon his order. The Buginese notes also contain: fragments of a poem in tolo' style (f. 1r.); letters of the Arumpone Ahmad as-Ṣālih (ff. 9, 11, 12); a note in which the writer says the name of his father, the Arumpone Matinroe riMalimongĕng (‘he who passed away at Malimongĕng'), was 'Abd ar-Razzāq To Appawarĕ' (f. 131.); notes on Arung Ponre (ff. 2, 7r., 10r., 11‚ 12). The Malay notes also contain: fragments beginning al-qiṣṣah, presumably from some unidentified hikayat (ff. 18r.-15v.); translations of Buginese poetry (ff. 17v.-15v.); 7 lines apparently from the Hikayat Shahi Mardan (this name being mentioned) (f. 20r). On f. 19v. a few lines of poetry in Arabic, in praise of the Prophet.
(This description from Dr. A. A. Cense.)
On f. 6r a drawing of a building.
Seals: On f. 9r: red wax seal of Arumpone Ahmad as-Ṣālih (#414); on ff. 11r and 12r: lampblack seal of Arumpone Ahmad as-Ṣālih (#412)
