Editorial notes

The manuscript bears two dates: on the cover-leaf 1261 [January-December 1845], and in the colophon 4 Maulud 1262 [= 2 March 1846].

This text is accompanied in the manuscript by four others in the same genre, namely:  Hikayat Puteri Salamah, Hikayat Bulan Dibelah Dua, Takbir Mimpi, and Surat Tamsil.

Raimy Che-Ross comments: “The Jawi in this manuscript is generally clear but rather coarse and contains a few spelling errors.”

The full text of Hikayat Iblis was earlier posted on the web by Raimy Che-Ross, and is now presented by Mohamed Yosri Mohamed Yong at http://sumarno.wordpress.com/category/hikayat/.  This text may differ in some details from the text edited for the MCP.
