- Title:
- Wat Sirimongkhon Unknown Text(s)
- Scope & Content:
-
Palm leaf manuscript, seems to concern divination and what people born on different days will be like. First and tenth faces start with Pali NAMATTU, suggesting that there are two texts. My main motivation for digitization was that it seems to be of late provenance and that it was, unusually, written in ink.
Extent: 1 bundle, appoximately 17 faces. Missing colophon.
Condition of original material: Good condition and legible. Written in ink, possibly pen. Some leaves shiny.
Custodial history: Handwriting is Thai Mon, so manuscript is of local provenance.
No colophon.
