This is a facsimile of Jose Rizal's handwritten Noli Me Tangere manuscript — the working draft, in Rizal's own hand, with his edits, corrections, and deletions still visible — as submitted to the typesetters at Berliner Buchdruckerei Aktiengesellschaft in March 1887.

The hardcover edition was produced by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines in 2024 as the authoritative reproduction of Rizal's manuscript. It is an archival object for researchers, collectors, and institutional libraries; readers looking to read the novel will find it in many other editions, including English translations, modern Spanish reprints, and graphic-novel adaptations.
