Exceptionally for Southeast Asia, Qur’an manuscripts by Bugis scribes often have full colophons, with details of when, where and by whom they were copied, and so far five Qur’an manuscripts as well as a number of other religious manuscripts by Syaikh Zainal Abidin have been documented. A recent important discovery is Syaikh Zainal Abidin’s own catalogue of 52 Qur’an manuscripts he had copied, with details of each owner, located from Sumbawa to Lampung and Pontianak.

Syaikh Zainal Abidin bin al-Khatib Umar était un érudit religieux et scribe coranique bugis éminent du XIXe siècle, originaire de Pammana, Wajo, dans le sud de Sulawesi. De manière exceptionnelle pour l’Asie du Sud-Est, les manuscrits du Coran produits par des scribes bugis comportent souvent des colophons complets, avec des détails sur la date, le lieu et l’auteur de la copie. A ce jour, cinq manuscrits du Coran ainsi qu’un certain nombre d’autres manuscrits religieux produits par Syaikh Zainal Abidin ont été documentés. Une découverte importante récente est le catalogue de 52 manuscrits du Coran que Syaikh Zainal Abidin a lui-même copiés, avec des détails sur chaque propriétaire, résidents de Sumbawa à Lampung et Pontianak. Cette étude tente de relier les manuscrits du Coran connus de Syaikh Zainal Abidin avec ceux répertoriés dans son catalogue, apportant ainsi un éclairage supplémentaire sur sa biographie et ses réseaux de clientèle.
