The primbon manuscript has concrete implications for social life, both concerning individual needs and collective needs of society. Various problems faced by the community some time ago, referring to the primbon as a reference, because the truth has been tested, like a roadmap that will direct someone to a specific goal. The use of primbon is generally through "smart people" or dukun, who are considered to have more ability. In Indramayu, there are at least five types of primbon namely petungan (calculation), pranata mangsa, ngalamat, prayers and spells, and predictions ‘ramalan'. Now the primbon manuscript is increasingly alienated from the inheritor's society, even though it contains a variety of local wisdom and knowledge that may still be relevant to today's society. Therefore, an effort is needed to in still awareness of the urgency of the primbon of the community and reintroduce the contents of the primbon manuscripts, which can be done through a philological approach.
