This article is about the English translation of Hmannan Yazawin.

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. The original translation of the word Hman (မှန်) to Glass is debatable as the Burmese word Hman (မှန်) also means truth or factual.

George Coedes cites the chronicle for a "very romanticized account of the events following the death of Alaungsithu."^[1]^{: 166–167}
