Digital images of a text on Astrology, an explanation of 57 similes and metaphors. Anonymous author, date unknown. Notes: Written in a ruled exercise book; untittled, title provided by Aswandi; also no author’s name or copyist, nor place and date of copying or writing. Original covers missing, replaced with old Dutch newspapers (Het Niews van den Dag, No. 210, 10 September 1912), which has been covered with a red thick paper of a German magazine (Die-Woche Moderne Ilustrierte Zeitschrift) with an ad for the Hansa Theatre in Hamburg. Every explanation in the manuscript is illustrated with images of humans, animals, objects or jins, pencilled on the paper and coloured with water colours (blue, red, yellow and green). Behaviour of these animals etc. is compared with that of humans (e.g. the elephant looking for food is a sign that...), also with reference to the Qur'an. Transcription: Tamsil No. 2 dengan gambar harimau dan teks penjelasan sebegai berikut. (Huwallazi Arshalla Rosulallhu Billahu) ‘alamat fi’il ayat dibinasakan akan segala seterunya dan sukacita hatinya. (Harimau berjalan mencari makan) ‘alamat orang hendak perdaya akan dia atau hendak dibunuh orang akan dia melainkan hendak ia ingat2 akan dirinya memberikan sedekah dan dimandikan berlimau supaya lepas daripada keruh badannya. Bermula adalah resmi harimau itu jarang hatinya diperoleh tetapi lambatnya sedikit dan lagi adalah rezeki harimau itu sekali2 sahaja. Lagi pula hatinya keras. Hendaklah sabar2 hatinya supaya selamat wallahu’alam.
