Subject: Palm Leaf Manuscript - need help identifying
Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 00:01:08 -0400 (EDT)
Palm Leaf Manuscript - need help identifying These are five pages and the cover from a palm-leaf manuscript I have; I've been trying to identify both the language, or at least the script, and the content. The script seems Burmese, but a number of the characters seem different, especially the vertically-doubled ones. I'm totally ignorant in this area; any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not even sure which way is up, but I think that 22-23 are correct. The manuscript is extremely worn; there are insect holes throughout it, and some of the leaves are falling apart. On the other hand, it's protected now, and won't fall apart. Again, thanks for your help. - Alan http://www.asondheim.org/manu01.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/manu02.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/manu07.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/manu14.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/manu22.jpg http://www.asondheim.org/manu23.jpg
