Manuscript

Collection of leaves from 5 different manuscripts: nine leaves from a Pali grammatical treatise on conjugations (51-9-12.1); three leaves from an Abhidhamma commentary, possibly a sutra (51-9-12.2); and single leaves from three additional manuscripts (51-9-12.3-5), including a half leaf of a nissaya text based on a sutra (51-9-12.4). In Pali (Lanna). Two lateral holes. Two leaves (ff. ku and ke) contain a few syllables which have been marked for omission by vertical lines in black ink through them or over them. One (f. ke) contains an interlinear insertion in black ink. F. gah and the unlettered folio have a small section of leaf on each which is chipped off at such a point as to destroy some text. F. khu is split in several places along its upper section, destroying much text. F. gu recto reads in the upper left margin,"akhyata kan 2 le va"; f. gai, "kan3 le va"; f.gah,"kir ton kan 2 le va." F. gu verso has some Lao or related dialect material written in ink in left margin. The script is small, neat distinct, attractive but not ornamental, and gives the impression of having been written by a very well-controlled hand. Written in 9-11 lines per leaf (51-9-12.1) and 5-6 lines per leaf (51-9-12.2-5). Written on palm leaves. Written in the 1720s (51-9-12.1) and the first half of the 1800s (59-9-12.2-4).
