Lulut Edi Santoso

Lulut Edi Santoso, 54, began collecting and preserving dozens of ancient manuscripts over the last decade. He wants the wider public to be able to study knowledge contained in the manuscripts.

Lulut exhibited some pieces from his collection of centuries-old manuscripts in the Ancient Manuscript Exhibition on Thursday (19/9/2019) at the Malang City Library in Malang, East Java. The bound manuscripts are of varying thicknesses and are written in the Pegon script, a localized variant of Arabic script, and Javanese script. Some of the manuscripts are extremely fragile.
