Sebuah Versi Baru Hikayat Misa Melayu Berdasarkan MS Or. 832 di Cambridge University Library

JELANI HARUN

Abstract


ABSTRAK Misa Melayu dikenali sebagai salah sebuah karya besar yang lahir dalam sejarah Negeri Perak. Karya nukilan Raja Chulan pada abad ke-18 tersebut memperlihatkan suatu contoh ketinggian seni penulisan pengarang tradisi Melayu pada masa silam. Penerbitan Misa Melayu oleh R.O. Winstedt pada 1919 telah mengenengahkan karya tersebut kepada pembaca dengan pelbagai tafsiran dibuat terhadapnya oleh para sarjana. Walau bagaimanapun, penelitian penulis ke Cambridge University Library telah menemui sebuah manuskrip (MS Or. 832) yang agak jarang dibicarakan oleh para peneliti manuskrip Melayu sebelum ini. Manuskrip mengandungi beberapa perbezaan ketara berbanding dengan teks Misa Melayu terbitan Winstedt termasuk judulnya yang bermula dengan Hikayat Misa Melayu. Penulisan ini bermatlamat untuk membicarakan MS Or. 832 yang tersimpan di Cambridge University Library sebagai sebuah versi baru teks Misa Melayu dan seterusnya membuka ruang perbincangan terhadap kepentingannya dalam sejarah Negeri Perak.

ABSTRACT Misa Melayu is known as one of the greatest historical works from Perak. This masterpiece from the pen of Raja Chulan during the 18th century became the solidary example of how the art of writing was done by traditional Malay writers in the past. The publication of Misa Melayu by R.O. Winstedt in 1919 has taken interest among scholars to study in depth the value of this work and some have made various claims about this work. Nevertheless, this article is written with an advantage and support of an old Malay manuscript (MS Or. 832) kept within the Cambridge Unversity Library which was not very often read by scholars. During this research, a few key differences has been revealed between the text Misa Melayu published by R.O. Winstedt and the one kept in the Cambridge University Library which includes the title of the work, Hikayat Misa Melayu. This article aims to discuss MS Or. 832 kept within Cambridge Unversity Library walls as a new version of Misa Melayu and therefore open a new discussion regarding the importance of this work in the history of Perak

 

Key words: Misa Melayu, art of writing, Malay manuscript, new version, history
