For Pramono, 39, being a philologist is not easy. He had to undergo a long process of locating and gaining access to ancient Minangkabau manuscripts in order to preserve them. Yet, he has been spurred on by his passion for the ancient text, which he believes is the bridge between the past and modernity.

Pramono was introduced to ancient texts in 2000, when he was a Minangkabau Literary Studies student at the cultural studies school of Andalas University in Padang, West Sumatra. His philology lecturer, Muhammad Yusuf, invited him to several places that might possess ancient texts.
