In the process it challenges previous scholarly assumptions about pioneering works in this genre. The study is based on a document contained in Cambridge University Library manuscript Or Gg.6.40 dating from the turn of the 17th century. The initial chapters in this book situate the manuscript within its historical, social and religious context in the Sultanate of Aceh. This is followed by a transliteration of the Jawi text and translation into English, as well as the original Jawi text of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter G Riddell\u003c\/b\u003e, Ph.D. (1985), Australian National University, Professorial Research Associate of SOAS University of London, has published monographs and many chapters and articles on Islam and Southeast Asia, including \u003ci\u003eMalay Court Religion, Culture and Language\u003c\/i\u003e, (Brill, 2017).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9.25 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 23, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53749167292723,"sku":"9789004731523","price":188.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/4gVxBKv1tC9789004731523_17619804-944e-4ee6-a6ac-8a36f9954590.webp?v=1785259563","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/collected-stories-of-marvellous-and-miraculous-events-a-16th-century-malay-cosmogony-hardcover-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
