Description and Table of Contents
Description
The Hikajat Potjut Muhamat ("The Song of Prince Muhamat") was compiled by Teungku Lam Rukam, a religious teacher from a village in the province of the XXV Mukims in Aceh, in the early 18th century and recorded in oral tradition until the late 19th century. It describes the internal rivalries in Aceh around 1726-27 over the Sultan's throne. In the introduction to this text the editor/translator describes some of the other Acehnese epics, notably the Hikajat Male m Dagang of which the historical core is the capture of Johor (an ally of the Portuguese in the Malacca Peninsula) by the Acehnese and their routing of the Portuguese fleet etc. in the early 17th century.
