Indonesian Manuscripts from the Islands of Java, Madura, Bali and
Lombok discusses aspects of the long and impressive manuscript
traditions of these islands, which share many aspects of manuscript
production. Many hitherto unaddressed features of palm-leaf
manuscripts are discussed here for the first time as well as
elements of poetic texts, indications of mistakes, colophons and
the calendrical information used in these manuscripts. All features
discussed are explained with photographs. The introductory chapters
offer insights into these traditions in a wider setting and the way
researchers have studied them. This original and pioneering work
also points out what topics needs further exploration to understand
these manuscript traditions that use a variety of materials,
languages, and scripts to a wider public.
