U PE MAUNG TIN BIBLIOGRAPHY

Patricia M. Herbert
In 1969 a selection of U Pe Maung Tins literary research papers

(including some that had originally been wrien in English and
were now translated into Burmese) was published in Burma to
commemorate his eightieth birthday (24 April 1968). Titled `mn\
mawto qmuic\;AsNHc\. quetqnsatm\;mja; (Myanma wuthtu thamaing asahnin thuteithana sa-dan-mya) [The early history of the Burmese
novel and other research papers] and with a preface by the
then Chairman of the Burma Research Society, U Tha Myat,
it contained two introductory pages of tributes wrien by U
Pe Maung Tins former students, now themselves illustrious
literary gures, among them: Min Thu Wun (U Wun), Ludu
Daw Amar, Shwe U Daung, Min Yu Wei, and Zawgyi (U Thein
Han). To cite just one tribute (by Min Yu Wei): Hsaya-gyi
[great teacher U Pe Maung Tin] undertook to spread Burmese
literature to everyoneall peoples of Burmain order that
they should be able to understand each other, be united, close
and work as one. He went on to say: Today, hsaya-gyi has
no car, no brick building, no luxury goods. But he does have
in abundance peoples steadfast loving words and respect.
Min Yu Wei contributed to the compilation a description of
the eightieth birthday kadaw-pwe [honoring ceremony] held by
the Burma Research Society at the University of Rangoon for
Professor Pe Maung Tin and gave a short account of his life
and achievements, stating that U Pe Maung Tin had wrien
altogether eighteen books in Burmese, twelve in English, fortytwo research articles, six other articles and y-two reviews.
In fact, the tally is much larger, given that many more of U Pe
Maung Tins writings have been traced while others have been
reprinted or only published posthumously. Interestingly, but
in keeping with the political climate of Burma in the socialist
(Burma Socialist Program Party) era, no mention was made
even when discussing the Burma Research Society and the
translation of The Glass Palace Chronicleof U Pe Maung Tins
130
Journal of Burma Studies, Volume 9
U Pe Maung Tin Bibliography
brother-in-law, the eminent historian of early Pagan, Gordon

H. Luce (who was forced by the government to leave Burma
in 1964 aer nearly y years residence). But, for many, their
names are forever linked and associated with Burmas most
fertile intellectual period, the 1920s and 1930s, when Burmese
and foreigners sharedmost notably through the medium of
the Burma Research Societythe excitement of researching
and writing about all aspects of Burmas past and of fostering
literary and cultural developments.
The bibliography of U Pe Maung Tins writings that
follows is arranged chronologically by date of publication
so as to highlight his prodigious output, somehow achieved
amidst all his teaching duties; travels; full involvement in the
Burma Research Society, including the editorship of the Journal
of the Burma Research Society; the university debating society;
his service on the university textbook commiee and Burmese
dictionary commiee; general editorship of the Burmese text
series of the Burma Research Society; his chairmanship of
the Burma (Myanmar) Historical Commission; his musical
recreations; and his Christian and family commitments. I
initially compiled the bibliography for the September 1998
London Symposium and have since revised and expanded
it, including by cross-checking against entries from the U Pe
Maung Tin Bibliography compiled by U Thaw Kaung, the
retired Chief Librarian of the Universities Central Library,
Yangon, for the U Pe Maung Tin 111th Birthday Symposium
held in Yangon in December 1998. He was assisted by librarian
colleagues Daw Tin Win Yi, U Than Ohn, Daw Ohnmar Oo,
Daw Khin Hnin Oo, and Daw Su; and his bibliography was
published in 1999 with the other Yangon symposium papers,
including a reprint of ve papers by U Pe Maung Tin, in:
VI;ePemac\tc\ 111NHs\`pv\. gu\#psatm\;mja; (U Pe Maung Tin 111-hnit-pyei
gon-pyu sa-dan-mya) [Papers in honor of U Pe Maung Tins
111th anniversary], p. 6592 of the English language section. U
Thaw Kaungs bibliography lists 194 works, arranged in order
of type of publication and with Burmese language entries cited
in romanization only. In my bibliography, I have excluded
131
Patricia Herbert
works that appeared under the general editorship of U Pe

Maung Tin, such as those published in the Burma Research
Societys Burmese Text Series (approximately y works) and
by the Burma Historical Commissionthat is, works edited or
compiled by other scholarsand included only those directly
edited by U Pe Maung Tin. Many of the editors of such works
were U Pe Maung Tins former students. A complete listing
of the series, with notes on the editors, is given in the 1969
publication Myanma wuthtu thamaing asa-hnin thuteithana sadan-mya, p. 2330.
My revised bibliography now lists 227 works and
provides Burmese language title entries in Burmese script
rst, then in romanization, and nally a translation of the
title in square parentheses, except in the case of parallel titles
in English and Burmese. Parallel titles are indicated by an
equal sign (=) between the two titles. I have chosen to give the
publication details of Burmese language works in romanization
only, and have tended to use Rangoon for early publications
and Yangon for later ones. The romanization system used is
conventional transcription with voicing, as provided in John
Okells A Guide to the Romanization of Burmese (London: Royal
Asiatic Society, 1971, p. 6667), but with certain exceptions for
established romanizations of names (for example, Pe instead
of Hpei as in Pe Maung Tin, and Ko instead of Hko as in Taw
Sein Ko) and also in the case of parallel titles where I have
retained the romanization appearing on the title page. The
original romanizations appearing in titles of journal articles
and similar publications have, of course, been retained as
published. On the oen confusing question of hyphenation in
romanization of Burmese, I have used hyphens where deemed
necessary for sense groups, but I have not used hyphens for
Myanma, nor for foreign loan words (for example, words of
Pali origin). No diacritics are used for Burmese romanizations
nor for Pali. Under each year of publication heading, all entries
are given a running number and are cited in order of books,
articles, notes, and book reviews (rather than in alphabetical
order of title); and a subject index is provided for ease of
132
reference. The bibliography is for the most part not annotated,

but I have deemed it useful at times to add some clarifying
comments on content as well as quotations so as to convey the
avor of U Pe Maung Tins writing style and the breadth of his
scholarship. U Pe Maung Tins earliest works were published
under the name of Maung Tin, but laterto avoid confusion
with another Maung Tinhe became Pe Maung Tin, the Pe
of which in his earliest Burmese works he wrote as eB. By the
1930s it appeared in either form (as eB or as eP), but thereaer
only as eP. Many of his English editorial articles, notes, and
book reviews in the Journal of the Burma Research Society would
appear just with the initials MT or PMT, but in my annotations
I only use PMT.
Finally, as is the fate of most bibliographies, mine cannot
claim to be one hundred percent comprehensive and free of
errors. I am most grateful to U Thaw Kaung for his comments
(August 2003) on a dra of my revised bibliography and to
Daw San San May of the British Library for help in tracing
some works.

out that this text is of importance not just as the work
of a Burmese scholar (Nanabhivamsa-dhammasenapati,
head of the Buddhist Order in the reign of Bodawhpaya, 17811819), but also because it gives us, as part

Comment: PMT praises Taw Sein Ko and Duroiselle

Review of Maung Yin Maung and Ma Me Ma, by James

Hla Gyaw. JBRS 8 (1): 6364.
Comment: PMT points out that this work, published
in 1904 and acclaimed as the rst Burmese novel, is the
Count of Monte Cristo in Burmese garb. PMTs assessment
has been much quoted; it is however misleading as very
lile of Dumas work was used in the novel.

286.
Comment: PMTs verdict: A wearisome continuation of
the same tale of the doings of a neurotic irt in the days of
polygamic Burma. This volume like its predecessor has
no other value than that of ne language in the mouths
of the many lovers. Note: part 1 of Maung Hmaing was
reviewed by Ba Han in JBRS 8 (1): 6467.

Anantathuriyas Death Song. JBRS 9 (3): 15355.

Review of Maung Ta Naw Wuu, pt 1, by Maung Ba Thin.

JBRS 9 (2): 112.
Comment: PMT calls this work a handbook of Burmese
wisdom in the guise of a novel. The various lessons (in
customs, omens, divination, etc.) are given as practical
hints to a love-match, which have just enough loveinterest to dispel boredom.

Review of Sein Gale Wuu, part 1, by U Kyi. JBRS 9 (3):

Comment: PMTs verdict: Another novel of the same
immoral type as Maung Hmaing by the same author in a
less animated style.
73.
Review of The Wonderful, part 1, by Saya Dwe. JBRS 9 (3):

161.
Comment: PMTs review both condemns and praises: A
novel with a misleading title. The author has not learnt
the subtle art of novel writing. . . . A great merit of the
book is the purity of diction which forms its principal
charm.

Comment: PMTs verdict: A good novel of humour and
pathos with a touch of satire. . . . The dramatic value of the
book is enhanced by a skillful use of Karen accentuation
of Burmese words. Indeed we have no hesitation in saying
that this is the rst Burmese novel which approaches
European novels as regards the humour and satire of its
dialogue.

Comment: Message sent by PMT in response to an
invitation to address a meeting of the Upper Burma
Writers Association, being held on 6 December 1972
in Mandalay. PMT was not well enough to travel from
Rangoon, so the poet U Tin Moe recorded PMTs words
at home and read them to the meeting. It is customary
169
Patricia Herbert
to annually honor respected senior writers on Writers

Day which falls in December, and in 1972 the Upper
Burma Writers Association had invited four senior
writers including PMT (soon to be eighty-ve), and
Shwe U Daung (aged eighty-four). The content of PMTs
message, delivered in simple colloquial Burmese, is
highly signicant. He refers to the UBWAs preference
for and increasing adoption of a more modern colloquial
style in their wrien work, a style which was not favored
by the more conservative literary establishment in
Rangoon. PMT felt that it would be disastrous for the
future development of the Burmese language if a way
were not to be found to harmonize usage throughout the
country, and he urges his audience to nd a solution to
the controversy. Even such a short time before his death
(March 1973), PMT was anxious about and speaking out
about the future of the Burmese language and calling for
the preparation of dictionaries and guides to usage.
1975
222. The Simile of the Skyscraper. Maha Bodhi, Journal of the
Maha Bodhi Society 83 (4/5): 22529.
Comment: PMT writes about his experiences lecturing
on Buddhism in America (195759) and comments that
he found his students could not accept the concept of
suering and concludes that this is because Americans
believed that happiness could be achieved by removing
material obstacles to suering. PMT says he rst used
the simile of a skyscraper for conveying the Buddhist
concept of the thirty-one planes of existence in lectures
at Bucknell University in March 1958. The article has a
short editorial postscript giving an appreciation of PMT
and stating that the article for Maha Bodhi was wrien
in his nal days and that he never saw the nished
manuscript. Two translations of the article into Burmese
were subsequently published: one by Maung Hon Wun
under the title dukqsaNHc\. mui;pjMtuik\@kI; (Dokhka thitsa-hnin mo170
