Abstract
The tradition of writing Bugis manuscripts (South Sulawesi, Indonesia) came to an end many decades ago. However, there is one small niche where we can see the Bugis manuscript tradition still at work and that is the realm of lithographs made after handwritten models. These lithographed texts exclusively deal with Islamic matters. Up until the present day these texts (written in Buginese and Arabic) are still available in Bugis society, although they are becoming increasingly rare. This Bugis kitab literature represents the last remnants of the Bugis manuscript tradition. I will describe its forms, contents, authors, and scripts.
