Names in the record, in publications, etc. | Kentol Taib van Macassar was also known as Kentol Taib al-Maqassari. |
Notes | Kentol Taib van Macassar was a witness I have elected to add as a surname the toponym "Van Macassar" to the family and retinue of Sheik Yusuf in order that they are grouped together in the project and also identified as a specific group, and because 'van Macassar' was commonly used during that period. The spelling is derived from his name, i.e. al-Maqassari. However, this does not imply they all came from Makassar - in fact some would have come from Banten - nor that they were known as "Van Macassar". with Muhammad Yusuf al-Maqassari. |
