Editorial notes and bibliography

Muhammad Yusoff Hashim uses three sources:

A.  manuscript in private hands, Terengganu (covering volume 1 only); probably the draft written by Tengku Dalam Kalthum.

B.  the Singapore printed book.

C.  manuscript held by Puan Aminah, in the former residence of Tengku Dalam Kalthum, Terengganu (covering volume 1 only).

He presents the text of B, the printed edition, with copious notes indicating variant readings in A and C.  The printed edition is closest to A, which often provides more standard variants for local Terengganu forms found in B.  These local forms have been retained in the text presented here, but have been indexed as standard forms when possible.   Thus, for example, licing is also indexed as licin.

In extensive notes, Muhammad Yusoff Hashim includes many parallel passages found in other syair.
