BURMA A.D. 1287–1531

v3.c36.13

The main narrative, both for the Burmese homeland round Āva, and for Toungoo, to which they were driven, is the Hmannan Yazawin, the standard Burmese chronicle compiled in 1829 from earlier chronicles and from inscriptions. As only 207 out of its 1358 pages have been translated (Luce and Tin, ‘The Glass Palace Chronicle.’ Oxford University Press, 1923), my references are throughout to the original.

v3.c36.14

The Shāns were illiterate and had no records. The best books on them are Cochrane, ‘The Shans,’ and the Gazetteer of Upper Burma and the Shān States.

v3.c36.15

The only surviving Talaing records are their MSS. chronicles of which the chief are Razadarit Ayedawpon, Thatonhnwemun Yazawin, and Sayadaw Athwa; pagoda records, of which the chief, Slapat Rajawan Datow Smin Ron, is translated and in print; and the Paklat Talaing chronicles, printed in Siam. The best study of the race is Halliday, ‘The Talaings.’

v3.c36.16

All the above are court chronicles (see Harvey, ‘History of Burma,’ pp. xvii–xx, 103), and for social conditions we have nothing but inference. There are a number of inscriptions, all Burmese; they have been printed, but inaccurately (see Harvey, ‘History of Burma,’ pp. xvi, 380), and only in vernacular; I therefore refer only to Tun Nyein’s small volume of selected translations. None of the inscriptions translated in Epigraphia Birmanica are as late as the period covered by this chapter.

v3.c36.17

Chinese records, which throw a scanty but invaluable light on the period, are found in Huber’s great articles in the Bulletin de l’École Française d’Extrême Orient, and in Parker’s printed work which, save for ‘Burma, relations to China,’ is buried in the political files of the Rangoon Secretariat; much of these files are, however, incorporated in the articles on the various Shān states in the alphabetical portion of the Gazetteer of the Shān States and Upper Burma.
