Intertextuality of a religious manuscript can be used to understand the meaning and position of religious thought in the text. This research focuses on the relation between shari'ah/fiqh and tasawuf/hakikat in Yogyakarta Sultanete Milieu, through intertextualanalysis of the manuscript Kempalan Kitab-Kitab Islam (code: MSB/H/15/SK92), a collection of Sonobudoyo Museum in Yogyakarta. This manuscript was studied by seeing its position between two texts in two traditions (keraton and pesantren), but in the same milieu (Sultanete Yogyakarta), i.e Serat Suryaraja (royal heritage of Yogyakarta Sultanete) and Al-Sunī al-maṭālib fī isṭilāḥal-‘awāqib by Kiai Nur Iman from Pesantren Mlangi of Yogyakarta. This research shows that Kempalan Kitab-Kitab Islam can be seen as a point which signifies the acceptance of sharia as part of a way of achieving “ilmu kesempurnaan” (the science of perfection) in the conception of Sufism in Java
