World Canonical Texts
With an eye to see what works / authors V. Braginsky is effectively canonizing, I studied his index, and for key works counted how many pages a work / author are mentioned.
Below is a rank order of the most referenced works / authors: (top 10; with reference on 30 or more pages)
| Rank |

| 1 | Sejarah Melayu | 118 |
| 2 | Hamzah Fansuri | 106 |
| 3 | Bustan as-salatin / Nuruddin ar-Raniri | 75 (no double-counting) |
| 4 | Hikayat Indraputra | 64 |
| 5 | Taj as-salatin | 61 (almost all pages referring to author also reference text title) |
| 6 | Hikayat Cekel Waneng Pati | 45 |
| 7 | Hikayat raja Pasai | 44 |
| 8 | Hikayat Isma Yatim | 38 |
| 9 | Hikayat Syah Mardan | 32 |
