Description of manuscript content:

This manuscript discusses an episode from the La Galigo saga, beginning with the preparations for the Bissu We Tenri Dio ceremony (Princess Sawerigading, sister of I La Galigo) and continuing through the execution of the Bissu We Tenri Dio ceremony.

Other notes:

On the inside cover of the manuscript, there is a text that discusses the La Galigo story, but its content and focus differ from the main text. From pages 2r to 9v, there are missing sections at the end of each page, making it difficult to determine the continuity of the narrative. Additionally, several pages at the beginning of the manuscript are missing, causing a break in the episode that leads up to page 10r.
