I can't realy manage to find out what kind of script was used there, beacuse different websites tell me different things. I was hoping someone here could shed some light for me on this matter. There is not much data on Maluku, but maybe someone would know where to look. Thanks before hand for your help. Greetz, Rowena Hi,

The person behind it were several scholars including Effendy Mohammad who is now based in Hawaii pursuing his doctorate. The Cham Koran is both in Arabic as well as Cham. If you like, i can make further enquiries from the scholar who owns it - Dr Thanh Phan. In fact, he has just released an invaluable catalogue of Cham manuscripts in his personal collections. I reside in Ho Chi Minh City and can easily get in touch with Dr Thanh Phan if you need further help.

Thanks for dropping by the blog. Yes, it certainly is an interesting thing you noticed about the uses of different scripts there. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying too much attention to the Koranic manuscripts while I was there (I was more taken by the various stone inscriptions) so I can't tell you anything in particular about that manuscript. However, it is not uncommon to find a mix of scripts used in Southeast Asia -eg, using sanskrit and jawi for a Javanese-language text, although I'm not sure if this was the case if this is Koran. The SE Asian script looks like a Cham script though. Hi Preetam!

Like your podcasts too. I visited the Akshara exhibition couple of weeks back. Saw an interesting book with a mix of Arabic and South East Asian script. I think it was a Koran from a Cham area. Maybe you can shed more light on it. Here is the picture. http://tinyurl.com/yspqw2 Hi, I am regular reader of this blog. Like your podcasts too.
