Abstract

The ancient Sundanese manuscript as a legacy of the past is important and needs to be informed of its current existence. The undeniable fact is that there are still many Sundanese manuscripts whose contents have not been revealed, especially those related to traditional medicinal plants, known as Tanaman obat keluarga (TOGA). What types of plants, what are their functions, and how, and their treatment actions are hidden in the manuscript. It is the philologist’s job to inform the public, so that other disciplines can use it in a multidisciplinary manner, especially medical texts that are useful for preventing and increasing immunity during the Covid-19 pandemic. In the era of globalization, local wisdom of the past culture, which is revealed in the Old Sundanese manuscript, should be ogled and studied on an ongoing basis and must be done immediately. This research uses descriptive comparative analysis research methods, and multidisciplinary philological and cultural studies methods. To reveal the elements, functions, and benefits of the TOGA, a brief pharmacological study is also used. In compiling the encyclopedia, lexicographic procedures were used, through heuristics, selection, gradation, and presentation stages, which were expected to be able to describe, classify, study, and analyze the types, functions, doses, procedures and treatment actions revealed in the Sundanese manuscripts of the 19th Century AD this research aims to make the public better understand and be wise in sorting and choosing TOGA according to its use. The results of this study are not only useful for the field of philology, but can also be used by the fields of medicine, pharmacy, public health, dentistry, nursing, and agriculture.
