Abstract

Qur’an manuscripts in Southeast Asia represent both sacred texts and dynamic cultural artefacts. Yet scholarship on these manuscripts has developed in a fragmented and regionally uneven way. This article addresses that problem through a structured analytical mapping of fifty-seven peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2002 and 2024. Drawing on a modified systematic literature analysis grounded in the PICOC framework, the study combines PRISMA-based selection with word-frequency analysis and NVivo-assisted thematic coding to trace publication dynamics, methodological orientations, thematic emphases, and geographic coverage in the field. The results show that approximately seventy-three per cent of the analysed studies have appeared since 2018, signalling a marked rise in academic attention to Qur’an manuscripts in recent years. At the same time, around eighty-five per cent of the corpus focuses on Indonesia and Malaysia, leaving Brunei, southern Thailand, the southern Philippines, and other Malay-Islamic polities largely under-represented. The thematic mapping identifies three interrelated clusters Islamization, Manuscripts, and Studies through which research has approached Southeast Asian mushaf. Rather than offering a narrative overview, the article treats the existing literature as an empirical corpus for conceptual mapping. By identifying recurring patterns and structural blind spots, it proposes an agenda for more geographically inclusive, methodologically diverse, and theoretically self-aware studies that connect philological and codicological analysis with histories of reading, teaching, and Islamization in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

This article examines the Qur’anic manuscript copied by Sayyid Muhammad Nayazi, discovered in Imogiri (Bantul), complete in 30 juz and dated 1277 AH (c. 1860–1861 CE). It aims to identify measurable “Ottoman-style” indicators through codicological–textological evidence and comparison. The study employs a qualitative design combining library and field research, using manuscript documentation, interviews with the owner/family, and a philological approach (codicology and textology). The findings reveal a consistent cluster of indicators: the 20-pages-per-juz rhythm (with limited variations), the ayet ber kenar (corner-verse layout), and the 15-lines-per-page standard, alongside an opening illumination (serlevha), functional script distribution (naskhiy–sulus–riq‘ah), and a reading apparatus (predominantly imla’iy rasm with traces of ‘usmaniy features, dabt markers, tajwid–waqf signs, scholia, and qira’at notes). These features support the conclusion that the Nayazi mushaf follows an Ottoman-oriented production model designed for stable reading and memorization practices. However, geographic provenance still requires further internal evidence, such as ownership seals or waqf notes. This study adds to the mapping of Ottoman-style mushafs in Java and proposes a comparative indicator set for similar manuscript studies.
