This article examines the Arabic manuscripts of Buton Island, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, focussing on the Abdul Mulku Zahari collection. In particular, it studies manuscripts of texts composed by the ruler of Buton, Sultan Muḥammad ʿAydarūs (r. 1824–1851) who wrote a large number of Sufi works in both Arabic and Wolio, the literary language of the Butonese court. The manuscripts attest not only the religious and intellectual culture of the court, but also Buton’s connections with the wider Islamic world including the Hijaz and its reformist Sufi movements. The article also situates Muḥammad ʿAydarūs’s Arabic works in the broader context of Butonese history and textual production.

本文研究了印度尼西亚东南苏拉威西岛Buton Island的阿拉伯手稿，重点是Abdul Mulku Zahari收藏品。特别是，它研究了由Buton统治者苏丹·穆罕默德·ʿ阿达鲁斯（SultanMuḥammadʿAydarūs，1824-1851年间）撰写的文本手稿，他用Butonese宫廷的文学语言阿拉伯语和Wolio写作了大量苏菲作品。这些手稿不仅证明了法院的宗教和思想文化，而且也证明了Buton与更广泛的伊斯兰世界的联系，包括希贾兹及其改革派苏菲派运动。本文还将穆阿马德·阿达拉斯的阿拉伯文作品放在布托尼斯历史和文字作品的更广泛背景下。
