ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical and textual characteristics of Nuljae-Gangsu-Yugo and restore its original text from their missing wood- block plates. The major findings are as follows: (1) Nuljae-Gangsu-Yugo is the posthumous collection of writings by Park Jeung-Yeong and his son, Park Hun and first published as a wood-block print by his descendant Park Jeong-Ryong in 1666(King Hyunjong 7). (2) Wood-block plates for the first edition of Nuljae-Gangsu-Yugo originally consisted of 37 plates with 74 sides, but 6 plates with 12 sides are missing. Each plate is 20.3㎝ long, 53.9㎝ wide and about 3.0㎝ thick. Those plates are assumed to be made of pine trees, and very elaboratively carved.(3) Wood-block plates of Nuljae-Gangsu-Yugo are very important, because their original prints do not currently exist, and they exhibit the techniques of woodcutting in the mid-Joseon Period.(4) It is expected that based on the original texts, the missing wood-block plates of the first edition of Nuljae-Gangsu-Yugo could be restored, and the whole set of the original wood-block plates of Nuljae-Gangsu-Yugo could be completed.
