- Mira't al-ṭullāb
- Scope & Content:
- In Malay in Jawi script. Mira't al-ṭullāb, by Abdul Rauf of Singkel, this MS dated 14 Muharam 1178 (14 July 1764) in the reign of Sultan Kamaluddin Jauhar al-‘Alam Syah; a copy from Aceh.
Marginal annotations in black and red ink, and decorative marginal mutlab section markers (eg. ff.56r, 65r, 66r, 70r, 74v, 98r, 119v). Beginning very damaged; lacking first folio; f.1r, which has an illuminated frame in the Acehnese style in red, yellow and black, is therefore the left-hand page of what was originally a decorated double frame spread over two facing pages. Some other folios also missing, eg. on the basis of catchwords following ff. 4,5, 136, 142. Some loose papers found within the volume, eg. ff.102a-b, a letter; f.121a, prayer addressed to Ibrahim ibn Adham; f.148a, prayer.
The text was composed for Sultanah Tajul Alam of Aceh (r.1641-1675) [f.2v]: sultan yang amat besar dan raja yang amat mulia Paduka Seri Sultanah Tajul Alam Safiatuddin Syah berdaulat zill Allah fi al-‘alam anak Paduka Seri Sultan Raja Iskandar Muda Johan Berdaulat. Colophon on f.224r.
