Endangered manuscripts of Western Sumatra. Collections of Sufi brotherhoods

Dr Irina Katkova, Independent Researcher
2008 award – pilot project
£6,550 for 6 months

This pilot project is based on the results of recent field research work in 
Western Sumatra and deals with written Islamic heritage of this region, 
especially Sufi literature. The manuscript collections are preserved mainly in 
the surau * of Sufi brotherhoods (Shattariyah, Naqshbandiyah) with a small 
minority kept in private collections. All these collections of manuscripts are 
written in Jawi (Arabic Malay) or Arabic and consist of examples of al-Qur'an, 
tafsir, works on fiqh and tasawwuf as well as agiographical treatises of 
auliya' (Muslim saints), historical and cultural works of Minangkabau region. 
There are some unique examples of calligraphy and illumination, in particular 
in the mountain regions of Minangkabau with the traces of its Hindu-Buddhists 
past. Such regions which are difficult to access and still remained unexplored 
can give different opportunities and treasures to investigate. Further studying 
of such written heritage can contribute
 much to the history of Sumatra, of Islam and Sufism and especially to the 
studying of the local form of Islam of Minangkabau. Most of these manuscripts 
are in a very poor, almost illegible state because of the humid climate and 
insects and can vanish and be lost to research within 10-20 years.

The research staff of Andalas University in Padang has already started the work 
of digitisation in some surau in a project led by Mrs. Zuriati, with whom this 
project will be coordinated. It is hoped that these two projects will 
supplement each other. The project of Mrs. Zuriati covers the territory where 
the main surau of Shattariyah brotherhood are located in the villages close to 
Padang (max. 50km) while the distant Shattariyah surau still remained 
unexplored. So the field work of this pilot project will be held partly in the 
region of Agam located rather far from Padang (100-300 km) in the mountain 
villages (Sejunjung, Palembayan) where it is planned to visit approximately 
five surau and identify their collections. The most valuable examples and those 
which are in the worst condition will be digitised.

This project will also investigate Naqshbandiyah manuscript collections 
preserved in the surau around Padang. Naqshbandiyah is another Sufi brotherhood 
which is widespread in the Minangkabau region and were introduced in Western 
Sumatra even earlier than Shattariyah, in the 17th Century. It is also planned 
to meet with the owners of private collections in Padang, identify their 
collections and digitise where possible.

As the outcome of this pilot project, a report of the survey will be prepared 
which will contain the guidelines to develop a future major digitisation 
project in the surau of Sufi brotherhoods in Western Sumatra. The most 
endangered and rare manuscripts will also have been digitised and preserved.

* Islamic study centres led by Sufi sheikhs as well as the places of Sufi 
ritual practice and preserving manuscripts.
