Steampunk Nusantara

Single page from folio hardcover book, badly damaged by fungus, cleaned and restored. Final reading and translation comes from NIR and visible light assay, as ink seems to have been eaten by humidity, fungus and sheer neglect. Language is Arabized Malay; based on linguistic clues of language, we can more or less place the date to some point in early 15th Century Hijra; material analysis confirms this.
