Researchers into Myanmar history have found the Ayedawbon treatises to be a highly significant literary genre which provide a record of historical events next in importance to the Myanmar chronicles. The Myanmar term ‘Ayedawbon’ is synonymous with the Thai term, Chotmaihet or Kotmaihet and it deals with accounts or reports of particular events. Owing to circumstances, never before has anyone attempted to translate these famous works into the English language. Soe Thuzar Myint has translated the sections involving Siam-Myanmar relation from these Ayedawbons into English, thus making it available to scholars of both countries and of the rest of the world. She also provides a full account of 7 Ayedawbon treatises and highlights on comparative studies in the literature and history of Myanmar and Thailand. This book is a major contribution to the history of Southeast Asia from 16th to 19th century.
