- Title:
- Bugis poem
- Scope & Content:
-
On ff. 1v.-16r. a poem of the kind called sitta'sittakkĕng (i.e. composed of other pieces of poetry). Made for Arong Lompo by Arung Palakka (not the famous one of the 17th century, but a prince living at the end of the 18th and the first quarter of the 19th centuries) on the occasion of the opening of the site of Tanatĕkko and the erection of the palace of Saodĕnrae (in 1806, according to a note in Add. 12357). Half of f. 91. is blank, and on f. 9v. a verse begins abruptly, so the poem is perhaps not complete.
On f. I7v. another short poem, written parallel to the spine of the book.
On f. 1r, 17r, 18r and 18v are a few black ink sketches of flowers and foliage.
In Bugis language and script. (This description from Dr. A. A. Cense.)
