Nabyakjeungchibang and Eonhaenabyakjeungchibang are medication guidelines wherein the administration and contradictions of oriental herbal medicine are written so that medicines for emergency conditions are prepared and stored beforehand and used in case of emergency. A predominant view is that this literature was written by Heo-Jun (1539〜1615) based on the record of Taeuiseonsaengan and the fact that medicines listed in the Nabyakjeungchibang were all listed in the Donguibogam except two. The purpose of publishing Nabyakjeungchibang was indicated at the end of the book: “∼people in faraway districts or remote countryside have difficulties in using medicines although they have them. Thus, important phrases from classic prescription books are selected and published as a book for distribution.”Currently, two versions of Nabyakjeungchibang - the Chinese version and Korean annotated version - have been well preserved and passed down. The National Library of Korea, Seoul National University Kyujanggak Institute for Korean Studies, Academy of Korean Studies, and Ewha Women’s University have copies, all of which seem to be the same editions although there are some differences in binding type, storage condition, or title signature. Since Nabyakjeungchibang is a medical book that introduces the administration and contradictions of Nabyak, which is a prescription of the medical bureau for the royal family, it is connected to the quotations of “Naeguk,” also the prescription of the medical bureau for the royal family, in the Jejungshinpyeon published in 1799. Considering the fact that these two medical books revealed the prescriptions of the medical bureau for the royal family to the general public in the remote countryside, the love for people by relieving them from diseases can be understood. When prescriptions quoted as “Naeguk” in the Jejungshinpyeon were compared with prescriptions in the Eonhaenabyakjeungchibang, 17 out of 36 prescriptions were listed in the Eonhaenabyakjeungchibang. Part of the commentary during the process of registering Donguibogam in UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register is a passage that cited the concept of preventive medicine declared in Donguibogam as early as the 17th century. In that respect, Nabyakjeungchibang, which suggests emergency medicines beforehand and lets people know of their administration, should also be regarded as one of the medical accomplishments of the Joseon Dynasty.

This article, taking the new material, the manuscript version of Geumganggyeong Eonhae, examines its system and characteristic, and the reason or meaning of the method of Gwonsu Malje. Also, as a preliminary review, it takes a look at the conditions of the edition/ publication and versions of Geumganggyeong Eonhae published by Gangyeongdogam. The manuscript version Geumganggyeong Eonhae is a manual copy of the main texts of ‘Yukjohaeseo’, ‘Huseo’, and Geumganggyeong Eonhaeas well as Yukjo Haeui with the Ansim Copy, the second publication of Geumganggyeong Eonhae in the late 16th century as its finalized version. Different from the Korean version published by Gangyeongdogam, this book does not contain Gakjabyeongseo letters and ㅿ, reflects the actual sounds of Chinese characters at that time, and is characteristic as all instances of ‘-이’ are written as ‘ㅣ’. As such, the manuscript version Geumganggyeong Eonhae in Boseong Seonwon can be well evaluated for its values and significance in that it shows linguistic facts in the late 16th century and it is the first case that shows the distribution of manuscript version Buddhist bibles in Korean. On the other hand, from the clear mention of Seokbosangjeol and Worincheongangjigok in the manuscript version Geumganggyeong Eonhae, we can conjecture that it suggests parts or all of Geumganggyeong is put in Worinseokbo. That is to say, it can be said that the copier put Worinseokbo together with Geumganggyeong in as Gwonsuje and Wonmalje with the Ansim Copy as its finalized version in order to reveal that Geumganggyeong is also contained in Worinseokbo. However, given that the head title of Worinseokbo is ‘Woringchoengangjigok/ Seokbosangjeol’ and the frequency of ‘Worincheongangjigok’ is higher than ‘Seokbosangjeol’ in the manuscript version, we can conjecture that there was no copy of ‘Worincheongangjigok’ in which Geumganggyeong was chanted or the latter’s portion was very limited.

A Study on the Manufacturing Technique of the Ancient Hand-copying Paper

Based on an excavated ancient paper recently, we could know that paper was invented prior to Cai Lun(蔡倫) of Later Han Dynasty. The technique of manufacturing paper was handed on to Korea peninsular with Buddhism and then to Japan. After the invention of paper, Sutras written on paper were manufactured and preserved up to now. It is regretable to say that our neighbor China and Japan have relatively more old papers than Korea. At the moment, Silla’s paper was left only 4 items, i.e. National Treasure No. 126 Mugujeonggwangdaedaranigyeong (無垢淨光大陀羅尼經), National Treasure No. 196 Paejimukseodaebangqwangbulhwaeomgyeong (白紙墨書大方廣佛華嚴經) or Silla Avatamsaka Sutra written in ink on White paper, Mugujeonggwang-dharani(無垢淨光陀羅尼) excavated from Nawonri 5-storied pagoda, and Mugujeonggwang-dharani excavated from West 5-storied pagoda at hwaeomsa. Among them, what we certainly know the date of production was only Paejimukseodaebangqwangbulhwaeomgyeong. Therefore, we have no option to investigate the characteristics of Silla’s manuscript scrolls. The only one method to investigate the characteristics of Silla’s manuscript scrolls is to make clear the difference between Paejimukseodaebangqwangbulhwaeomgyeong and the manufactured chinese and japanese manuscript scrolls. It was until recently that most of study are related to the bibliographical one and, as a result, the scientific research has been supporting the bibliographical one. We can say that a concomitant feature among China, Japan and Korea is the preparation process of making paper and a subsequent dochim(搗砧) or a stamping treatment, a method smoothing paper by beating it on a fulling block. The ancient paper than the modern paper has several characteristics of which a space between paper-fibers is jam-packed and of high density and its surface is opaque and smooth because people of ancient smash and crush the long fiber made of hemp or Dack-fiber and make a fibril by pounding them in a mortar or a treadmill in the process of paper-manufacturing. I would say that wild horses could not get it out of the characteristic of an ancient paper in investigating a few paper relics. However, we can not help researching the characteristics of an ancient paper through a comparison between an antient paper-manufacturing technique and a few relics at the present time.
