Abstract

The Rao Rao Mosque in Tanah Datar, West Sumatra is an ancient mosque built in the early 20th century AD. The roof of this mosque is gonjong, a roof shape commonly found in Minangkabau traditional buildings, both rumah gadang (traditional house) and balai adat (traditional halls). The shape of the roof is different from the shape of mosque roofs in general, both in Minangkabau and other Islamic countries. This research aims to analyze the influence of traditional Minangkabau architecture on the roof of the Rao Rao Mosque along with its meaning. This research was carried out within the framework of case study research. Physically, the roof of the Rao Rao Mosque is clearly influenced by the roofs of traditional Minangkabau buildings. The use of this roof shape also has a philosophical meaning related to the traditional philosophy and life of the Minangkabaunesse. Apart from that, the Rao Rao Mosque keeps a cultural track record of the Minangkabau people at the beginning of the 20th century which is stored in the form of values in its architecture.

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the stemma method in philological studies and analyze the application of this method in researching ancient texts, especially in the aspect of manuscript genealogy. This paper arises in response to the challenges philologists often face when trying to determine the most appropriate method for their research into manuscripts. The presence of various methodological options can often confuse researchers and make them feel disoriented in their research. Therefore, this paper aims to provide guidance to readers in determining the appropriate steps in philological research, especially in the context of manuscripts that are considered ancient or old. One of the methods that will be discussed in detail is the use of Stemma, which is a very useful tool in uncovering the autograph authenticity of ancient manuscripts. By utilizing the Stemma method in research, researchers can take concrete steps to identify and analyze genealogical relationships between various ancient texts. This can help them achieve a deeper understanding of the origins and development of the texts, as well as identify the most authentic or authentic versions. Thus, through a better understanding of the theory, methodology and practical applications of philology, it is hoped that researchers will not feel confused or lost in their research, especially when they are dealing with texts that have a long and complex history.
