Hello Twitter world! This is the official twitter account of @ERC_Research Project "Textual Microcosms: A New Approach in Translation Studies." We will be posting about interlinear translations in manuscripts and rare books from the Indonesian archipelago!

We have just concluded our annual workshop on Interlinear Translations from the Indonesian-Malay world, with presentations about manuscripts and printed materials in Old Javanese, Modern Javanese, Malay, Arabic, Sundanese, and modern Indonesian.

One of the most famous scholars from Aceh was Abdul Rauf (b. ca. 1615). He composed numerous works in Malay and Arabic, including the first Malay interpretation of the Qur’an, Tarjumān al-mustafīd, and a guide to Islamic law, Mir’āt al-ṭullāb. https://t.co/1VN6kYDmEw

Here's Ronit Ricci's blogpost about Arabic to Malay interlinear translations in an 1891 Maulid text from Sri Lanka (BL MS Or. 16873). What might this tell us about the diverse diasporic community designated as "Malay," connecting South and Southeast Asia? https://t.co/aj60WhDpmh

In Malay and Javanese textual traditions, interlinear translations are often referred to as "bearded books" (kitab jenggotan) or "hanging meaning" (makna gandhul). Learn more about their pedagogical use in Aceh from Aglaia Iankovskaia's blogpost!
