Additional Burmese Historical Sources 1752-76

Description: 

This paper is a supplement to the author?s two papers " Burmese Historial Sources 1752 - 1885" and "A Bibliogrphical Essay of Burmese Sources of the History of the Konbaung period 1752-1885". The author studied primary historical sources from unpublished Burmese materials: 1752 - 76 and presented her findings in three periods (1) 1752 - 60-- the reign of King Alaungmintaragyi (a) a palm leaf manuscript containing more than seventy orders and letters (b) a miscellany of orders and petitions pertaining to the reigns of Alaungmintaragyi and his eldest son Naungdawgyi (Dabayin Min). There is little original material for the period 1760 - 63; however sources from 1763 - 1776 are abundant, principably the "Yaza" account of the embassy from Sandapuri. These historical sources describe political history, administration, and Burma?s foreign relations during the first half of the Konbaung monarchy.....Subject Terms: 1.
