Editorial notes

The text presented by Inon Shaharuddin is based on two manuscripts from Sri Lanka, one undated, but apparently copied late in the nineteenth century.  The Sri Lanka texts include some episodes not contained in the text edited by van Dissel, which was published in lithograph facsimile by van Ophuijsen. 
The story of Marakarma, or as he is more commonly known, Si Miskin, was popular during the latter part of the nineteenth century, being reprinted many times by Singapore publishers for the commercial market.
