A Juxtaposition of happiness and sadness on the same page

Abstract

Manuscript notes such as birth and death records, meaning writings unrelated to the main text, are frequently encountered in oriental manuscripts. An inventory of these manuscript notes would be useful for conducting a systematic study of these records, but such an inventory does not currently exist. Despite this, the notes found in manu‐ scripts are significant as they provide insight into various stories, events, and con‐ nections.
