I'm not sure which document you are referring to, the one shown in post #16 or what Pusaka linked to in post #23.
And i guess these aren't so much documents as diagrams. The link in #23 says the diagram writing is in Siamese so i presume they mean Thai. The diagram in #16 may well be Thai as well. Not sure if we have anyone on board here who is fluent in Thai.

#16 David, I consider it a document, the other a weblink.

Well, i'm not sure if that is Thai or not written on those diagrams, but to my eye i would say that even if i knew the language, that particular image would not make it easy to translate what is written there. So besides finding someone who knows the language i would say they would probably need a better image work from for a complete translation.

David, given that the member posting notes Sufi interpretation and the script does not look Thai, I'd guess that it was old Arabic.

Whilst I understand the complexities you note if one was to present the single image supplied in the article to the forum, I am simply curious to know if anyone within the forum, or external readers who may want to get in touch, know if a translation of the manuscript in full has been completed, or if it is being worked upon?

Yes, actually the text off to the side talks about it being in Arabic and Old Malay.
Hopefully somebody knows more about this manuscript. Pusaka didn't mention where he sourced the image from at the time.
