Editorial notes and bibliography

The text is taken from a typescript manuscript in rumi script.  Fawzi Basri has modernised the spelling and edited it lightly.  Material that he has added to clarify the meaning of the text has generally been omitted.

The text covers the history of Johor from 1685 to 1917 mainly from a genealogical perspective.  The second part provides a digest of royal custom, with brief notes under a number of headings:

Kebesaran Raja-Raja.

  Pedang, Keris Panjang, Tobak, Cogan.

  Dimulai meletakkan pekerjaan kahwin

  Pakaian mempelai

  Pakaian Pengantin

  `Adat berjamu di Balairung Seri

  Jika Mempelai Berarak

  Jika seorang hendak berahli:*85

  Jika seorang bunting sulung

  Jika perempuan hendak beranak

  Jika mengangkat raja memerintah negeri

  Waktu menyiramkan mayat

  Aturan bertabal

  Surat utusan
