摘要：The Kanjeng Nabi Verses (Syair Kanjeng Nabi) is a pegon and Arabic lettered verse that tells us the story about Prophet Muhammad when his hair was cut. The same story is also narrated in the Tale of Shaving Prophet (Hikayat Nabi Bercukur) that was written in Jawi. Both texts tell the similar story despite their different geographical backgorund. This study enables the epigone theory as an approach to controvert the idea on act of plagiarism between authors of both texts then to propose the creator‘s creativity in producing texts. Identifications on texts‘ functions and themes methods, and interpretation on cultural perspectives and transcribing tradition are used in this study in order to demonstrate author‘s creativity in producing texts.
