Old Tagalog

The left picture shows the Apostles' Creed from the Doctrina Christiana, the first book printed in the Philippines. The curious font used is the Baybayin, the "extinct" Philippine syllabary.
This other picture is from the Boxer Codex showing Tagalogs as they may have dressed at the same period the Doctrina was printed.

Rosenwald Collection, Library of Congress, Washington, with an Introductory Essay by Edwin Wolf 2nd.

Introduction

I am holding a male Kalinga vest in this picture. In the next few days, I will be posting translations into the different Kalinga languages and dialects, as well as other Philippine languages. To my Kalinga friends, please post your comments and/or changes.
I am planning to post pictures of the Holy Family (Baby Jesus, Mama Mary and Papa Joseph) in native Philippine costumes, as I post the texts of the prayers. I need your valuable help in here ... kindly send them to me at danteferry@gmail.com
