- late 20th cent.
- Description:
- The jampi is written from bottom to top, and is headed by a note of Jaspan in red ink: 'Lines 1-8 below are written in a clear, firm, neat hand, rather horizontal or supine style; a few mistakes, some corrected, others not. The starter - mark is the finest and most elaborate I have yet seen (it probably represents the sun, G.E.M.)'. This is accompanied by a romanized transliteration by P. Voorhoeve from Jaspan's copy, 1f., typescript. Further note by Jaspan, in blue ink: 'Gift of O.L. Helfrich, September 1892. 8 rows of text. Holes in knuckles; not aur gading. Scored lines on either side of the text about 6 to 8 cm apart, not exactly parallel.' (= REM 886/30). Included on this sheet is a copy and transliteration of REM 2347/2.
