ABSTRACT

The investigator recently conducted a study after newly discovering six volumes and books of manuscript of ten Shinjeungguwoonru(新增九雲樓). As its follow-up study, this study set out to compare and examine correlations between Guwoongi(九雲記), whose nine volumes are housed at Yeungnam University, and Guwoonru to figure out the characteristics and status of the former as a different version. First, it was examined how the revised letters in the Joseon revised manuscript of Guwoonru were inherited in Guwoongi. As a result, it was once again confirmed that Guwoongi made a few revisions to Guwoonru in the direct inheritance process. Then, the ‘additions and omissions’ in Guwoongi were examined in three types of ‘changing(異), addition(添), and omission(刪)’. The results show that the cases of replacing one with a different expression absolutely outnumbered the cases of merely adding or omitting. Guwoongi is a version with many problems of awkward or unnecessary additions or omissions and revision errors in addition to reckless omissions of ‘sentences’ here and there. Those were the changes made in the creation process of Guwoongi, which is separate from the original Chinese work. Directly inheriting the Joseon manuscript Guwoonru, it made many revisions and thus became more distant from the original Chinese block book. It should also be noted that the Yeungnam University version of Guwoongi is not a regular transcript but the compiler's manuscript.
