- Abstract
- eng The present study focuses on manuscript LOr 5626 from the archives of the Qadi of the Sultanate of Bantěn (1527-1813), in Indonesia. This codex is preserved in the Leiden University library, which acquired it from C. Snouck Hurgronje. It consists of the ‘legal cases’ brought before the Kiyahi Pěqih Najmuddin, the Islamic judge in Bantěn, by the inhabitants. The register, which covers the period from 1754 to 1756, is the oldest ‘sijill’ (court record) in Southeast Asia, and it contains cases on marriage, divorce, inheritance, litigation, private transactions, loans, debts, and violence. The manuscript demonstrates the judicial practice exercised by the qadi of Banten and reveals important findings on the relationship between Islamic legal theory and practice This essay hopefully will contribute to Islamic legal history in general both by providing textual evidence that the qadi record (sijill) existed in Southeast Asia during the eighteenth century and by presenting its contents.
- ind Studi ini berfokus pada manuskrip LOr 5626 yang berasal dari arsip Qadi Kesultanan Banten (1527–1813) di Indonesia. Kodeks ini disimpan di perpustakaan Universitas Leiden, yang memperolehnya dari C. Snouck Hurgronje. Manuskrip ini memuat catatan mengenai 'perkara hukum' yang diajukan oleh penduduk kepada Kiyahi Pěqih Najmuddin, seorang hakim Islam di Banten. Register tersebut, yang mencakup kurun waktu antara tahun 1754 hingga 1756, merupakan *sijill* (catatan pengadilan) tertua di Asia Tenggara dan memuat berbagai kasus terkait pernikahan, perceraian, waris, litigasi, transaksi pribadi, pinjaman, utang, serta kekerasan. Manuskrip ini memperlihatkan praktik peradilan yang dijalankan oleh qadi Banten dan mengungkap temuan penting mengenai hubungan antara teori dan praktik hukum Islam. Tulisan ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi bagi kajian sejarah hukum Islam secara umum, baik dengan menyajikan bukti tekstual mengenai keberadaan catatan qadi (*sijill*) di Asia Tenggara pada abad ke-18 maupun dengan memaparkan isi catatan tersebut.
