Delving Into the Depths of History

Nusantara manuscripts are one of the cultural assets in Indonesia that have high value in the history of Indonesian culture. Many of the cultural research experts and activists have researched and studied in depth the manuscripts of the archipelago. Most of the archipelago manuscripts that are hundreds of years old are in very poor physical condition. This research aims to describe the ins and outs and the physical condition of two manuscripts of copies of the book Tanbihul Masyi al-Mansub ila Thoriq al-Qusyasyi by Sheikh Abdurrauf bin Ali al-Fanshuri as-Singkili. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative method with a codicological approach based on primary reference sources, namely two manuscript copies of Tanbihul Masyi al-Mansub ila Thoriq al-Qusyasyi. The secondary data sources are articles, books, and literature related to codicology studies. Based on the results of research related to the ins and outs of manuscripts, it is revealed that the two manuscripts of the copy of Tanbihul Masyi between the Lengkong version of West Java and the Pustaka Kitab Jawi Lama Pantonlabu Aceh version have very different physical aspects. The Lengkong version of the manuscript, which is a ± 165 year old copy, is in poor physical condition, with many sheets and writings missing and illegible. The manuscript can only be seen digitally through the website. While the manuscript version of Pustaka Kitab Jawi Lama is in good physical condition and well preserved because it has been copied and reproduced for the public to enjoy.Keywords: Codicology, Manuscript Criticism, Sheikh Abdurrauf as-Singkili, Tanbihul al-Mansub Ila Thoriq al-Qusyasyi.
