But the graphemes, for example, the ones for e are rather round, while at least in modern Thai in print, the large part is rather straight. But I do not know the earlier evolution. Someone might throw light. The image has the appearance of South-East Asian -- that much is certain.

I concur with Dr. Kieffer-Pülz. Definitely a Southeast Asian script, although not one I have direct experience with.

ha ha, well, according to my friend Petra Kieffer-Pülz, I *am* totally wrong! She writes:"It looks more like some type of Khom script."

Dear Clemency,

The two images that you have labelled Tibetan Manuscript 1 and Tibetan Manuscript 2 are definitely in Tibetan. Possibly if we had a scan of the other side of the folio in Tibetan Manuscript 2 we could determine the title. After the first phrase, which continues a sentence from the other side, it gives a series of homages: homage to the Buddha, homage to the dharma, homage to the sangha, etc.

Best regards,

Dear Colleagues,

I'm preparing a small exhibition on the De Jong collection that is now held by the University of Canterbury in New Zealand (http://library.canterbury.ac.nz/collserv/dejong.shtml) as part of initiatives to make this scholarly asset more visible to the research community (and university officials so they are reminded of its worth and importance!)

I found in some of the archival boxes several manuscripts that I would like to put on display, but I'm having trouble identifying the scripts of them.

Two images appear to be from a Palm Leaf manuscript in some sort of South Indian script but I can't put my finger on it exactly.

The other two images appear to be in Tibetan.  Could someone kindly confirm this for me?

(I'm busy getting the librarians to take images of the final folia in case I can make out a colophon...)

Any help greatly appreciated!

With best wishes,
Clemency
