Full description
Dr Ian Proudfoot was Visiting Fellow at the Australian National University's School of Culture, History and Language. His main research interests included literacy, printing, and colonial education in nineteenth-century Muslim Southeast Asia; Classical Malay manuscript literature and philology; early Malay divination and time-reckoning, calendars, and the idea of Malay science. Dr Proudfoot published numerous books and articles on the above topics. His life's work culminated with the Malay Concordance Project, a massive corpus of texts from Classical Malay literature which can be searched for words and phrases. This project aims to help scholars share resources for the study of classical Malay literature. It is regularly consulted by scholars from around the world. Dr Proudfoot passed away in 2011. Subjects
