Abstract

Malay and Arabs are two continents, located in different area, Southeast Asia
and Middle East. Historically, writers as ulamas (religious prominent figures)
tended to use watermarked papers for writing many things both related to
religious, historical knowledge, and also their experience. Looking at the
manuscripts existing nowadays, almost all Malay and Arabic manuscripts‘
papers have unique and similar watermark images and countermark inside. It
cannot be denied that historical background and context appeared behind the
papers. Historically, the relationship among the countries since the coming of
Islam to Malay -- that was in Aceh at the first -- gave the effect of produced
and using the papers. Trade and diplomatic relation can be assumed as the
biggest factor taken places in this aspect. Besides, Western countries also took
important role in exporting their paper to other countries. In addition, they
had colonized some Muslims countries both Southeast Asian and Middle
East. As the most popular producers of watermark images, Western countries
also exported their papers to other countries, including their colonized
countries. This paper tries to elaborate ulamas‘ paper in these two nations in
its similarity and diversity to find local wisdom inside. Thereafter, to analyze
the relationship among the countries is another focus of this paper. This paper
tries to use Philological, Codicological, and Socio-historical approach in
dealing with the content and physics of the manuscripts, and its historical
context
