This study revisits a Qur’anic manuscript from Sanggau preserved in the West Kalimantan Provincial Museum by integrating codicological analysis with an examination of its ḍabṭ system. Although West Kalimantan preserves a rich corpus of Qur’anic manuscripts, studies combining codicology and recitational marking systems remain limited. This research employs a codicological approach, supported by library research and direct observation, and is analyzed using descriptive-analytical and interpretative methods, focusing on key elements of ḍabṭ. The study finds that the manuscript, attributed to Shaykh Abdillah (1938), reflects typical features of Malay Qur’anic manuscripts, including the use of Naskh script and dluwang paper. However, its ḍabṭ system shows notable variations. While generally resembling the modern muṣḥaf, inconsistencies appear in the form of ḍammah and the application of tanwīn. The sukūn is represented in multiple forms, the shiddah is relatively stable, and the madd sign is limited to a simplified form. The hamzah follows the rasm pattern in a simplified manner, and waqf signs are minimal. This study contributes by demonstrating that the ḍabṭ system in the manuscript reflects a simplified, locally adapted practice, highlighting the diversity of Qur’anic transmission in the Malay world and offering a more integrated codicological and textual perspective.References
