Summary:

Incomplete accordion manuscript lacking the section which is the beginning of the text on the recto and the end of the text on the verso. The text on the recto is Prathom ko ka hat an, an elementary text with lessons for reading and writing Thai. The text on the verso is Phleng yao Phali son nong, a didactic text in klon phleng yao meter (corresponding to Phleng yao Phali son nong Version III in the Directory of Thai Literature). The didactic story, in which Phali teaches his younger brother Sukrip to serve Rama as his faithful servant and soldier, is based on a scene from the Ramakian (the Thai Ramayana) and is aimed at teaching noblemen and royal servants. (Peera Panarut)
