Other notes:
-The writing is dominated by the Lontarak Makassarese script, with some characters modified by Liem Kheng Yong, and features a combination with Hanzi. - Initially, this manuscript was rented out to the Peranakan Chinese community. - It is adapted from a Chinese folk legend. - There is a red stamp of the author that reads: “LIEM KHENG YONG-MAKASSAR.” - The front cover is missing. - Part of the paper has been eaten by termites, resulting in the loss of some text on pages 1r–2v and making the text partially unreadable. - The binding is starting to come loose.
