The Pegon script has long and massively been used as a medium for the transmission of Islamic knowledge, primarily in Java at least up to both 18th-19th centuries AD. In the 20th century AD, its use in general nevertheless declined, except in the pesantren world such as Pesantren Babakan Ciwaringin Cirebon. More than that, KH Muhammad Sanusi, one of its prime leaders, produced works in Javanese by using the Pegon script. This article focuses on three research problems including 1) the position of K.H. M. Sanusi in the network of Islamic intellectuals in Cirebon; 2) The role of K.H. M. Sanusi in the transmission of Islamic sciences through the Pegon script; and 3) the continuity of the use of the Pegon script up to the present. This article uses a qualitative approach based on the historical method comprising of four steps namely heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data collection technique is carried out by literature study, observation, and interviews. The results of the research show that K.H. M. Sanusi is the main companion of K.H. Amin Sepuh and through the chain of the latter is he connected to the Cirebon based Islamic intellectual networks; K.H. M. Sanusi composed a number of books using the Pegon script and taught them to his pupils as a form of continuing the transmission of Islamic knowledge; The use of the pegon script continues to this day in the pesantren world as being proven in Pesantren Babakan Ciwaringin where a number of newly religious works using the Pegon script are existent and those works are even still used as sources for teaching Islamic knowledge.
