Abstract
This study was motivated by the number of Minangkabau manuscripts scattered in various scriptoriums in West Sumatra. The purpose of the study is to investigate the manuscripts scattered in various scriptoriums in West Sumatra. Minangkabau is famous for the traditional philosophy of “Adat Basandi Sarak, Sarak Basandi Kitabullah” (One of the Philosophy of life held in Minangkabau society, which makes Islam as the main foundation in the pattern of behavior in the values of life). This has intellectual property contained in the manuscript as it has been recorded by several conducted studies. However, they still left some manuscripts that have not been touched at all and safely stored in the private collections of members of the public. Using philological methods that focused on Kodikilogi, twelve religious manuscripts were presented in Minangkabau. After the transliteration process, it was known that the manuscript contained some religious texts: Fiqh, Sufism, prayers and Arabic grammar (Nahwu).
