ARABIC MARGINAL QUOTATIONS OF THE LUWARAN
INTRODUCTION
These quotations are given here in the same order in which they appear
on the margin of the original copy of the Luwaran, with only a few
clerical corrections. They are selections from Arabic books on law
and religion, and form the basis of the Magindanao law as given in
the Luwaran. The order they come in does not always conform to the
order of the corresponding articles of the Luwaran to which they are
appended. The Magindanao judges who prepared the Luwaran used these
texts or quotations as authority for the corresponding Magindanao
articles they made. But subsequent scribes must have changed the
order of these texts on account of their ignorance of the meaning of
the Arabic text and the places where they should be applied.
