Summary "Studies in Moro History, Law, and Religion" by Najeeb M. Saleeby is a scholarly work that likely emerged in the early 20th century. This publication focuses on the intricate history, legal systems, and religious practices of the Moro people, primarily in the region of Mindanao, Philippines. It provides valuable insights into the genealogy, mythology, and the evolution of governance among the Moros, reflecting a significant cultural and historical narrative. The opening of the text encompasses a formal introduction and contextual background for the ensuing studies, emphasizing the role of manuscripts and oral tradition in preserving Moro history. It highlights the significance of genealogies, known as tarsila, which serve as both historical documentation and cultural heritage for the Moro people. Saleeby outlines the transition of Mindanao’s society with the advent of Islam, detailing foundational figures and myths associated with the region, such as the narratives surrounding Raja Indarapatra and Sharif Kabungsuwan. This introductory material sets the stage for a deep exploration of Moro history, customs, and the sociopolitical landscape that influenced their law and religion.
