This
CD-ROM belongs to the project of transferring the traditional
test on mss for storage in digital form on CD-ROMs.
The CD-ROM stores the illustrated coloured parabaiks
named "Royal City and palace plans", which
roughly means the plans used by successive Myanmar
kings for building their royal capitals and palaces.
To mention the names of Myanmar kings exactly, they
are as follows:
»
King Manuha (Thaton),
»
King Nyanung Yan,(1600-1606)
»
King Tha Lun, ( 1629-1648)
»
King Alaungmintaya, (1752-1760)
»
King Naungdawgyi, (1760-1763)
»
King Sinbyushin, (1763-1776)
»
King Badon, (1782-1819)
»
King Bagyidaw, (1819-1837)
»
King Tharrawaddy, (1837-1846)
»
King Mindon.(1853-1878)
Except the plan of the palace of King Manuha (Thaton),
the other plans of palaces are mentioned exactly in
their measurements.
The "illustrated coloured parabaik" were
made by the royal order of King Mindon in 1855.
The illustrated coloured parabaik are the No.25017
parabaik which belong to the Yangon Universities Central
Library.
