The Glass Palace Chronicle of the kings of Burma is the only English language translation of the first portions of Hmannan Yazawin, the standard chronicle of Konbaung Dynasty of Burma (Myanmar). Hmannan was translated into English by Pe Maung Tin and Gordon H Luce in 1923, who gave it its English name.
George Coedes cites the chronicle for a "very romanticized account of the events following the death of Alaungsithu."[1]:166–167
