On the Existing Dictionaries of the Malay Language (van der Tuuk, 1865)

These are early books, dictionaries, Bibles, etc. in Malay language, and books about Malay, in other languages. Latin characters were introduced by Dutch (in Indonesia) and British (in Malacca) by 19th century, and eventually supplanted Jawi script in modern days. Before printed books existed, the script was written by (palace) scribes. Such copy are now very rare and in fragile conditions.

There are some duplicates scans (different books, same title, same/different year) and duplicate files (same files with different names).
