Editorial notes and bibliography

A very full and circumstantial discussion of the texts, their contexts, and the scholarly attention they have attacted, will be found in Amin Sweeney's Karya Lengkap Abdullah, jilid 2.

Other texts and editions:

KGT

Shayar Nŭgri Singapura Tŭr-bakar, Singapura: Mission Press. -- a rumi edition of the jawi text.

C. Skinner, “Shaer Kampong Gelam Terbakar oleh Abdullah b. Abdul-Kadir”, Journal of the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, XLV.1 (1972): 21-56. -- Sweeney shows that Skinner's text is far from diplomatic.
