- Editorial notes
- Drewes and Brakel offer a critical edition, based on MS Malay no.83, but employing six other manuscripts, dated from 1704 to 1853.
Doorenbos is more diplomatic and conservative, giving texts based on a single manuscript, but noting variant readings in other manuscripts where they are available. In making his transcription, Koster has modernised the spelling of the Doorenbos edition and has improved the verse divisions in Doorenboos' text in several places.
Some inconsistencies in spelling stem from the use of two underlying manuscript texts.
Preparation- Added: 1998
- The text was first edited and keyed in by Koster; it was subsequently adapted for use in this project.
