The Surau Sheikh Abdurrahman Collection of Sufic Texts “were digitised as part of the EAP205 Endangered Manuscript Collections of Sufi Brotherhoods in Western Sumatra project. The original manuscripts are held at the Surau Sheikh Abdurrahman in Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota, Western Sumatra. One manuscript is a compendium of works concerned with Islamic law, mysticism, history, medicine and magic. The other is a narrative about the pilgrimage from Mecca to Egypt. The manuscripts date from the 18th and 19th centuries respectively. At the time of cataloguing, the original material within the Surau was maintained by the Sheikh Syahrani Khalil.”
