Konbaung Set Yazawin

Konbaung Set Maha Yazawindawgyi (Burmese: ကုန်းဘောင်ဆက် ရာဇဝင်တော်ကြီး, pronounced [kóʊɰ̃bàʊɰ̃ zɛʔ məhà jàzəwɪ̀ɰ̃dɔ̀dʑí]; lit.'Chronicle of Konbaung Dynasty') is the last and unofficial royal chronicle of Burma (Myanmar), covering the Konbaung Dynasty (1752–1885). Its author, Maung Maung Tin, a British colonial official and a son of Konbaung royalty, took Konbaung period portions of the two previous official chronicles, Hmannan Yazawin and Dutiya Yazawin, added the last years (1854–1885) of the dynasty, and packaged it as the single Konbaung era chronicle. It was first published in 1905, and later updated in 1921 to include the death of King Thibaw in 1916 as a postscript.
