The study of Malay codicology has made remarkable progress during the last few decades whereas Malay philology – in the restricted sense of the art of producing reliable editions – seems to be at a standstill. What is still needed in the field of Malay codicology, however, is a comparative study of manuscripts, focusing on features such as paper, layout, illustrations and handwriting. One such topic is colophons. A superficial examination (through catalogues) of nearly 2,000 Malay manuscripts shows that 40% contain a colophon, but these are very diverse in the type of information they convey, ranging from a single trifle (the hour of copying, for instance) to a long series of solid statements about the text, the manuscript, the copyist and his work. The prime use of this information is, of course, to locate a specific manuscript in time and space, but a comparative study of colophons also brings some insights into the act of copying manuscripts and the history of copying in the Malay world
