Ancient Malay manuscripts available at the click of a mouse. [Newspaper] (2021)
Abstract
SINGAPORE, March 20 — I felt so elated when I found out that I could now easily read hundreds of Malay manuscripts at the British Library in United Kingdom from anywhere at a click of a mouse. The historical manuscripts including Hikayat Hang Tuah, Hikayat Tanah Jawa, Undang-undang Melaka and Hikayat Nabi Yusuf have been digitised and now available online at http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/. By searching keywords ‘Malay’ or ‘Jawi’ one, one can access these manuscripts at the site. The British Library holds a significant number of Malay manuscripts in its repository, mostly on literature, history and law written in Jawi script, dating from the 17th to the late 19th centuries.
