- These texts are translations from legal-bureaucratic Dutch, are examples of the Malay used for admininstrative purposes in the Indies. The style has rightly been called Melayu Blanda. This "translationese" is characterised by long and convoluted stretches of prose. In sections it is very difficult to understand without reference to the parallel Dutch text, real or imagined.
- Both punctuation and spelling have been considerably edited. Punctuation in the original is minimal. Spellings apparently reflect transcriptions made at different times, a few contemporary. The transcriptions inconsistently distinguish between kaf besar (q) and kaf kecil (k), and between sin (s) and sad (sh); they also indiscriminately end words with k (e.g. ta'luk), q (ta'loq), and ´ (ta'lo') — these distinctions have not been preserved.
- cap: text of a seal;
- ttd.: tanda tangan (signature) [in Balinese script].
- Indexing:
- Dutch personal names — only the surname is included in the general index, as far as possible in the Dutch form; forenames are only indexed in the wordlist, and only as they appear in the text.
- Omissions:
- Lists of islands making up the territory of Riau, Lingga and Dependencies have not been included.
- Preparation
- Added: November 2008
- The text was scanned in Canberra by the MCP using Omnipage™ 16 OCR, and its spelling modernised. The source was difficult to scan, and the software used, Omnipage, has proved unreliable. Therefore the results have to be treated with caution. In particular Omnipage occasionally omits words and reorders lines of text. Caveat emptor.
