Misa Melayu MSS 6

Misa Melayu MSS 6 is a narration of the history of the ceremonial rules of the Perak Sultanate. It is the forerunner in the authorship tradition of manuscripts in the form of prose and poetry. The manuscript contains depictions of several historical events connected to the Perak society in the 18th century which leaves a profound impact on the art, culture as well as a remarkable thought in the tradition of Malay civilization. The narration was based on Raja Chulan's eyewitness assessment and views on Perak's genealogies, court ceremonials, succession of the throne, Malay customs, and diplomatic relations and trade with the Dutch (Vereenigde Oost-lndische Compagniei -V.O.C).
