has anyone on /lit/ read the Malay Annals?

>The Malay Annals (Malay: Sejarah Melayu, Jawi: سجاره ملايو), originally titled Sulalatus Salatin (Genealogy of Kings),[1] is a literary work that gives a romanticised history of the origin, evolution and demise of the great Malay maritime empire, the Malacca Sultanate.[2] The work which was composed sometime between 15th and 16th centuries, is considered one of the finest literary and historical works in the Malay language.[3]
> Notwithstanding some of its mystical contents, historians have looked at the text as a primary source of information on past events verifiable by other historical sources, in the Malay world.[7] In 2001, the Malay Annals was listed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme International Register.[8]

I'm curious if there is a good English translation which preserves the literary value of the original

I've only watched the Malay Anals on xvideos.
