In Jawi. "Swellengrebel1 identified this as the only surviving manuscript of a complete book of the draft Bible translation Leijdecker was working on from 1691 until his death in 1701. The only other extant manuscript of Leijdecker’s draft Malay translations contains only fragments of four different books of the Bible, in a Leiden University manuscript (LOr1961). Leijdecker’s translation is otherwise only known through the printed version of the New Testament in 1733, which had undergone substantial revision in 1723-5, long after Leijdecker’s death. Earlier, less admired, Malay translations of the gospels had however been printed as early as 1629."

"The Dictionary lists the Malay word in jawi spelling in the left column, Romanized Malay in the centre and a brief Dutch translation on the right. Cense, who studied this dictionary more carefully than I, estimated it has a total of around 13,000 words, of which 8,000 are root words and the remainder compounds with various affixes. He judged that “the translation of the Malay words is in general on target and succinct.” Overall therefore it was “for its time an achievement...It is also of importance for the history of lexicographyand perhaps also for an understanding of 17th century Malay.” The alphabetical order of initial letters is that of Arabic, though within each initial letter grouping the listing is often arbitrary. Some borrowings from Persian, Javanese or Arabic are noted by abbreviations. The selection suggests that the author was well versed both in Malay court ritual and Islamic religious writing."
