written in 18th century ornamental script: “Hasce Litteras ac Syllabas cingalas in
Gratiam Clar. ac Celeb. Viri Adr. Reeland Orient. Ling. Prof. scripsit Ioannes Croonenburgh,
S.S. Candid”. Probably the three specimens of oriental script belonged to the collection of Professor
Reland (mostly written with one e), a well-known eighteenth century Orientalist of
the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands (died 1718 A.D., see Lit. of Java, II,
p. 870, Br KMA 6644). Clergymen who had been his pupils sent him letters with curious pieces of information
about the oriental countries where they worked, probably in the service of the V.O.C.,
the Dutch East India Company.
