महामहोपाध्याय कविराज श्यामलदास (Mahamahopadhyaya Kaviraja Shyamaldas)

महामहोपाध्याय कविराज श्यामलदास (Mahamahopadhyaya Kaviraja Shyamaldas, 1836–1893) was commissioned by Maharana Sajjan Singh of Udaipur to compile an authoritative history of Mewar. The resulting four-volume work Veer Vinod is regarded as the earliest detailed written history of Mewar and a landmark in early Hindi historical literature. Shyamaldas was conferred the honorary title Mahamahopadhyaya in January 1888 and is recognised as one of the first modern Indian historians.
