Summary
[edit]DescriptionLontara manuscript, LOC 0050.jpg |
English: pages from a Lontara (Bugis) manuscript at the Library of Congress. Original description - " Story of a War Between Two Young Bugis Rajas over a Princess." Coming from South Sulawesi (Belebes[sic]), the Bugis began to migrate to the Malay peninsula in the late seventheenth century, fleeing civil war and the loss of their spice trading network to the Dutch East India Company. On the Malay peninsula, the Bugis became a major political force, even founding their own political dynasty in what is now the state of Selangor. This Bugis manuscript was one of ten purchased in Singapore by the Wilkes Expedition in 1842. Written in the Bugis language in an Indic-derived script, these rare manuscripts are important examples of nineteenth-century literature of the Bugis diaspora.
