The Sultan of Aceh was the Acehnese sovereign to whom, in Snouck Hurgronje’s De Atjehers and in the chapter Jagerslatijn of Oost-Indisch Journael by Merac (1947), a manté married couple was brought captive in the time of his grandfather. The Sultan of Aceh is the book’s — and Snouck Hurgronje’s — marker of the precolonial Acehnese sovereign who received the manté couple and whose efforts to persuade them failed.
The Manté Couple and the Sultan
“One informant knew to tell that, in the time of his grandfather, a ‘manté’ married couple was brought captive to the Sultan of Aceh. Despite all the efforts that were employed to persuade them, those forest-people refused to speak or to eat and finally died the voluntary death by starvation.” One informant knew to tell that, in the time of his grandfather, a manté married couple was brought captive to the Sultan of Aceh. Despite all the efforts that were employed to persuade them, those forest-people refused to speak or to eat and finally died the voluntary death by starvation. The Sultan of Aceh — the precolonial Acehnese sovereign — is therefore the book’s — and Snouck Hurgronje’s — marker of the sovereign who received the manté couple and whose efforts to persuade them failed.
The Sultan and the Sultan’s Court
“In the period of greatest splendour of the Acehnese empire, the Sultans had a thousand elephants as riding, pack, and fighting animals.” In the period of greatest splendour of the Acehnese empire, the Sultans had a thousand elephants as riding, pack, and fighting animals. The Sultan of Aceh — the precolonial Acehnese sovereign of the golden age — is the book’s marker of the Sultan’s court that had a thousand elephants and that preceded the Aceh War and the colonial state.
Significance
The Sultan of Aceh is significant in Oost-Indisch Journael as the precolonial Acehnese sovereign who received the manté couple and whose Sultan’s court had a thousand elephants. The book’s argument — that the Sultan of Aceh was the precolonial sovereign of the golden age whose efforts to persuade the manté couple failed — is the book’s marker of the precolonial Acehnese empire. The Sultan of Aceh is therefore the book’s marker of the precolonial Acehnese sovereign.
