14 A chain of kings changes in handwriting make clear that a second writer took over from the first. Narratively this does not correspond to a break or transition, coming as it does in the midst of Tunipalangga’s accomplishments. The text of the Talloq chronicle is complete. 3 SBPK ‒ Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz Or. 386 (Berlin, Germany). Of uncertain date, this contains a lontaraq beru copy of the Gowa chronicle in a codex that is otherwise filled with Bugis texts. It does not contain the Talloq chronicle. The writer was Bugis, and his spelling variations are consistent with Bugis pronunciation. SBPK often sides with BL in cases where the other texts disagree, suggesting SBPK’s Bugis writer had access to BL or a similar manuscript. For example, SBPK also omits the reign of Sultan Hasanuddin. In general this is the most divergent of the chronicle texts compared here. In several places the writer adds additional information pertaining to the Bugis not found in any other text. The writer also uses a letter resembling an ‘x’ for the letter ‘ya’. 4 VT ‒ Museum Pusat Jakarta VT 124 (Jakarta, Indonesia). Of uncertain date, and written in the lontaraq beru script, this manuscript’s writer was probably Bugis. The Gowa and Talloq chronicles are the only Makassarese texts in this codex, and the writer used the Bugis diacritical mark above letters to indicate a final velar nasal (-ng) or doubled consonant. VT and CM (see below) are in many places so nearly identical and substantially different from other extant manuscripts in how they reorder information and reword passages that we can conclude that both descended from a common ancestor. Both insert an additional section in the Gowa chronicle, a coherent narrative unit relating events concerning Gowa’s overlordship over Boné, transcribed and translated in Appendix 1 of Chapter V. The text of the Talloq chronicle concludes just before the end of Section 6, omitting the reign of Tumammaliang ri Timoroq found in most versions. 5 MS ‒ Matthes Stichting MS 159a (Yayasan Kebudayaan Sulawesi Selatan, Makassar, Indonesia). This codex of historical texts written in the lontaraq beru script is of uncertain date. It contains an abbreviated version of the Gowa chronicle describing the origins of Gowa that may have been seen as a coherent narrative work separate from the chronicle as a whole. It does not contain the Talloq chronicle. A typed transcription of this manuscript is available as KITLV Or. 545/258. 6 AL ‒ Lembaga Sejarah dan Antropologi, Cabang II ms. 2 (Makassar, Indonesia). This codex of historical texts dates from the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century. It contains both lontaraq beru texts (including a
II The chronicle texts 15 Talloq chronicle toward the beginning of the codex) and serang script texts (including a Gowa chronicle toward the end of the codex). The writer of the Talloq chronicle text was comparatively sloppy, and his copyist errors more numerous. He also tended to frequently insert the extraneous clarifying third-person pronoun ia. The Gowa chronicle text was written by two or three people, one of whom invented a letter which most resembles an Arabic final mim but is actually a velar nasal ending. The Gowa chronicle text in AL does not contain the reigns of Sultan Malikussaid and Sultan Hasanuddin (Sections 9 and 10). It does have a stylized mark that suggests a coherent ending point, rather than an incomplete text. This same manuscript is available as Arsip Nasional Republik Indonesia 62/2. 7 AS ‒ Lembaga Sejarah dan Antropologi, Cabang II ms. 1 (Makassar, Indonesia). This codex of historical texts in the lontaraq beru script was written in the early nineteenth century. The first item in the codex is the Talloq chronicle. The codex proper does not contain the Gowa chronicle, but an attached sheaf of eight serang script pages does contain the beginning portion of the Gowa chronicle. This manuscript is available as Arsip Nasional Republik Indonesia 62/1 and in the Leiden University Library as Cod. Or. 14,451. 8 CM ‒ Unlike the other source texts used in the preparation of this edition, CM is itself an edition based on other texts: B.F. Matthes’ 1883 Makassaarsche chrestomathie. This text was based on NBG 15 with notes on variations in NBG 16 and NBG 208. All three are nineteenth-century texts written in the lontaraq beru script and prepared at Matthes’ behest. CM served as the basis for the Indonesian translations of the chronicles (Rahim and Ridwan 1975; Wolhoff and Abdurrahim 1959). Both NBG 15 and NBG 16 added a genealogy of the descendants of Karaeng Popoq to Section 6 of the Talloq chronicle, possibly suggesting that this family was involved in the transmission of the chronicles in the seventeenth century. Establishing the relationships between these eight source texts is difficult. Precise lines of transmission are impossible to trace, particularly because of the unknown dating and provenance of the various manuscripts. However, it is possible to categorize these texts into two groups based on internal evidence. Based on patterns of variation in phrasing, structure, and textual errors we can hypothesize that BL and SBPK represent one line of transmission and that KIT, AL, VT, and CM represent another. These attributions cannot be verified, and not all the texts can be clearly grouped. In fact, the situation may have been more complicated still, as it is likely that there were several extant chronicles in the possession of nobles at the courts of Gowa and Talloq by the
