AB - This study is intended to clarify how the book publishing and printing related to the social and political background, and academic activity of King Sejo(世祖) during the reign of King Sejo in Chosun(朝鮮) Dynasty. The summarization is as following.1. King Sejo concentrated on strengthening royal authority and establishing wealthy country and powerful army to stabilize the shaky social status right after he mounted the throne. However, this policy didn't help facilitating academic culture. The King Sejo studied through extensive academic area and was equipped with sufficient knowledge and experiences before ascending the throne. Even though he didn't do academic activities as a King, but he summoned officials and Confucian scholars and lectured them by himself to promote academic mood.2. King Sejo considered pen as important as sword, and thought various practical learning including learning of ethics and history. Furthermore, he preferred Buddhism to Confucianism. This view of learning and promotion policy for academy affected the book publishing and printing significantly. 3. The book publishing was broadly not enough to show brisk academic activities. The publishing of military books and the explanatory books for Buddhist literature showed the preference to military and Buddhism. He established Gangyeongdogam(刊經都監) to publish many Buddhism books in wood block printing. This also reflects the pro-Buddhism tendency of the King Sejo.
