Sejarah Banten
Sejarah Banten ("History of Banten") is a Javanese chronicle containing stories of conversion to Islam in Indonesia. The manuscripts of the chronicle date from the late 19th century, although two are known to be copies written from the originals in the 1730s and 1740s.
Due to the scarcity and limitations of primary historical records, Sejarah Banten, is one of a number of accounts of Indonesian legends that scholars use to help illuminate aspects of
Confession of Faith
and circumcision.
