Abstract

An attempt has been made to locate and record Malay books published in the Malaysia-Singapore region during the first hundred years of printing, from 1817 to 1920. About 2,200 items were located in 13 national, public and academic libraries in England, the Netherlands, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. The books include Christian mission publication, a few Baba translations of Chinese romances, school books, guides to Islamic doctrines and a great number of popular syair and hikaya. Many of these old books may now survive in only one copy.
