Editorial notes
Lioubov Goriaeva presents a careful transcription of Roorda's edition.
Roorda’s edition includes the Malay text in Jawi script with parallel Dutch translation followed by 3 pages of editor’s notes. The text prepared by Lioubov Goriaeva is a transcription of the text with footnotes pertaining to difficult or dubious readings of the Jawi-written words. Quotations from the Qur´an have been included in the transcription provided by transliteration.org. Other Arabic and Persian quotations are not transcribed, however almost all of them are translated into Malay by the author (or the copyist).
The notes attached to this transcription treat Arabic and Persian words which are not commonly used in Malay and, also, dubious readings and erroneous spellings of some Malay words.

Editorial notes
Khalid Hussain presents a largely diplomatic edition of the Leiden manuscript, supplemented in a few instances by comparisons to the Johor lithographed edition of 1879. Some egregious inconsistencies in the transliteration have been corrected, though many more remain.

Khalid's edition gives quotations from the Qur'an, Hadiths and other quotes from Arabic and Persian sources in Arabic script. A few of these are transcribed; most have been simply been signalled as present in the text. For Qur'anic quotations, the surah and verse have been indicated.

The transcription often (though inconstantly) represents the Arabic letters `ain by ` and hamza by '. This is reflected in the MCP text.
