Sejarah Malayu or The Malay Annals (Jilid Yang Pertama)
---
W.G. Shellabear (Ed)
This edition of the Sějarah Malayu in the Roman character has been prepared for the use of the Malay pupils in the vernacular schools of the Straits Settlements, at the suggestion of the Inspector of Schools.
The text which has been followed is that of my edition in the Arabic character, published at Singapore in 1896. In the process of transliteration, however, several slight errors have been discovered and corrected; and in the latter part of the work, where in the previous edition I had only two manuscripts to refer to, I have had the advantage of being able to compare the text with a third manuscript, the property of Mr. R. J. Wilkinson. In regard to the MSS. and other authorities used in the preparation of the edition of 1896, the reader is referred to the preface to that edition. 122 pages
