| Long, dated palmleaf Manuscript containing the first volume of the text Swesone Kyaw Htin Kyan“ [စွယ်စုံကျော်ထင်ကျမ်း] by the monk Shin Nandadaja [ရှင်နန္ဒဒဇ] at the Phone Thar Htun [ဘုံသာထွန်]း monastery in Kyi Kan Village [ကြည်းကန်ရွာon] the 9th day of the waning Tawthalin Moon in the year 1158 ME [CE 1796]. Text in vernacular Burmese. May be a later copy of that text, but still quite old (19th century). It’s possible that 1796 is the original date when the text was first written. - The date of this copy seems to be 1260 SE (c. 1898) [image no. 20101_0406r] - Printed version of this text is available at the British Library and SOAS Library, but two authors were mentioned - https://library.soas.ac.uk/Record/725402 | ||
