Tumapaqrisiq Kallonna

Tumapaqrisiq Kallonna (also spelled Tumapa'risi' Kallonna or Tumaparisi Kallonna) was a karaeng or monarch of early Gowa, ruling from c. 1511 to late 1546, and the first ruler described in detail by the Gowa Chronicle.[1] He introduced written records and laws into the kingdom, and began its expansion by conquering and establishing ties with its Makassar neighbours.[2] He was also credited with internal reforms, including the introduction of the sabannaraq or harbormaster, the first bureaucratic post in the kingdom.[3] Under the reigns of his sons and other descendants in the sixteenth century, Gowa continued its expansion and reforms and would become the preeminent power of the South Sulawesi Peninsula.[2]
