This volume is an exemplary edition of Bujangga Manik , complete with a revised transliteration; a new English translation; detailed descriptions of the manuscript, script, and language; and an extensive commentary on the poemās contents, from its setting and characters to its descriptions of ocean-going ships, houses, furniture, perfumes, and much else.
