The Language of Malay Manuscript Art: A Tribute to Ian Proudfoot and the Malay Concordance Project

ANNABEL TEH GALLOP

Abstract


ABSTRACT: Dr Ian Proudfoot (1946-2011) of the Australian National University was renowned for his research on early Malay printing and literature, and traditional Muslim calendars from Southeast Asia. Yet perhaps his most valuable contribution to the field of Malay studies is the Malay Concordance Project, a freely-accessible and searchable online corpus of traditional Malay literature, which at present contains 165 Malay texts, comprising 5.8 million words, dating from the 14th to the 20th century. This article demonstrates the use of the MCP for one particular thematic study, of the traditional Malay vocabulary for the illumination of manuscript books and letters.

Key words: Ian Proudfoot, Malay Concordance Project, Malay manuscript art, manuscript illumination, Malay language
