Abstract

When the Dutch linguist Dr. Petrus Voorhoeve was commisioned in 1942 to document and transliterate manuscripts that were kept as heirlooms by the people of Kerinci, Sumatra, he encountered more than 250 manuscripts, most in Malay language, and in three different scripts: Old Sumatran, Kerinci Incung script, and Jawi (Arab-Malay). The manuscripts were recorded and transliterated in a book entitled Tambo Kerinci (TK).  TK 214 is a manuscript on tree bark in Old Sumatran scipt entitled Nitisarasamuccaya. This code of law was composed in the 14th century in Dharmasraya, West Sumatra. Written possibly during Adityawarman’s reign. In the Tanjung Tanah heirloom collection is a second code of law, TK 215, written in Arab-Malay script on paper, is essentially an 18th century re-interpretation of TK 214.

Abstract

In the last 500 years, the Kerinci valley, while enjoying de facto independence, always acknowledged the sovereignty of either Jambi, Indrapura, or Minangkabau. This article examines manuscripts sent by the suzerains of the three kingdoms to the headmen (Depati) of Kerinci and puts them into a historical perspective with particular emphasis on the social and economical impact brought upon the society by the arrival of Islam and colonialism in central Sumatra suggesting that the legal system of Malayu-Jambi essentially remained the same while the fundamental changes in the field of politics and economy are to a large extent attributable to colonialism, and only to a lesser extent to the arrival of Islam. The article also questions existing theories regarding a pre-Islamic Malay manuscript tradition and argues that the emergence of a paper-based Malay manuscript tradition is intrinsically linked to the availability of European paper.
