    Work: Arabic Literary Culture in Southeast Asia in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries (Brill, 2024)

    This scholarly study examines the spread of Arabic literary culture in early modern Southeast Asia through manuscripts and other little-studied texts. It brings into focus intellectual exchange with the Middle East, the development of Islam and Sufism, and the relationship between Arabic and Malay literary traditions.

    Manuscript fragments are used to rethink the reach of Arabic culture across Southeast Asia.
