Abstract
The existence of diplomatic and military relations between
Ottoman Turkey and some Muslim states of Southeast Asia has been
known for centuries. The Portuguese chroniclers, notably Couto
and Pinto, kept the idea alive in the West; oral traditions and a
few chronicles kept it more vividly before the imagination of the
Atjehnese; and in Turkey there has been a revived interest in the
connection since at least 1873. An attempt therefore seems overdue
to seek greater precision on these remarkable events, by considering
at least the most notable of the sources from the three sides.
