Glass Palace Chronicle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Glass Palace Chronicle (Burmese: မ္ဟနန္းရာဇဝင္; MLCTS: hman nam ra ja. wang; IPA: [m̥ànnán jàzəwìn]) is a historical work written in Burmese commissioned by King Bagyidaw (1819-1837) in 1829, and compiled by scholars to consolidate and compile all works of the history of Burmese rulers. The Glass Palace Chronicle is not completely factual, containing many mythical and legendary stories; however, many portions of the chronicle are historically accurate and factual. The work was translated into English by Pe Maung Tin and G.H. Luce in 1923.
