Glass Palace Chronicle

The "Glass Palace Chronicle of the kings of Burma" (MYname|MY=မှန်န်းရာဇဝင်|MLCTS=hman nam ra ja. wang; IPA2|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 Gordon H Luce in 1923.
