Malay Seals: from the Islamic World of Southeast Asia

Rp2.000.000

By Annabel Teh Gallop (Author)

Seals make up an important element in the manuscript and literary culture of maritime Southeast Asia, a world long connected by political, economic, and cultural networks, the lingua franca of the Malay language, and the faith of Islam. They constitute a treasure trove of data that can throw light on myriad aspects of the history of the Malay world, ranging from the nature of kingship, the administrative structure of states, the biographies of major personalities, and the form of Islamic thought embraced, as well as on developments in the art and material culture of the region.
