Cet article identifie et analyse deux « instantanés » distincts de manuscrits provenant de Kedah et de ses environs : les manuscrits rassemblés par Raffles, Leyden et d’autres au début du XIXe siècle, et ceux rassemblés par le Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (Bureau pour la Langue et la Littérature) au milieu du siècle suivant. Ces deux collections présentent des similitudes quant aux profils des personnes qui possédaient et copiaient les textes, aux pratiques de copie et d’emprunt, ainsi qu’aux genres représentés, les textes littéraires étant prédominants dans les deux cas. La comparaison avec le profil de genres d’une collection constituée plus tardivement au cours du XXe siècle, celle de la Perpustakaan Negara Malaysia (Bibliothèque nationale de Malaisie), indique qu’il y avait alors beaucoup moins de manuscrits littéraires disponibles. Ceci suggère un mode de conservation différent pour les manuscrits littéraires par rapport aux manuscrits religieux.
