Transliterated title: SLAPAT MELUIN KUIW NĀGA SUIN.
Palm leaf manuscript of a dialogue between King Milinda and Nāgasena. Also called "Milinda Pañhā" and apparently considered a canonical text in Burma but not Thailand.
Extent: 1 bundle of palm leaf manuscripts, approx 30 faces. Complete.
Condition of original material: Fairly good condition and legibile. Some leaves are faded in a way that looks dirty, and some leaves have been bent. Additional comments written on last leaf in ink.
Custodial history: Handwriting is Thai Mon, so manuscript is of local provenance.
