ABSTRACT

This study investigates the publication process of Wooam-Seonseng-Gyenyeoseo, Wooam-Seonseng-Moonjip and Songja-Deajeon which are the collection of Wooam Song Si-Yeol’s works.Wooam-Seonseng-Gyenyeoseo was written in Hangul by Wooam for his first daughter to be married. Two different versions of this manuscript are currently held at the National Library of Korea. But both lack the date of transcription, therefore it's only assumed that they were transcribed long after the death of Wooam, based on their style of writing and title.The collection of Wooam’s works were twice compiled and published on a large scale. The first attempt was made in 1719 AD (45th year of King Sukjong's reign) to publish Wooam-Seonseng-Moonjip, which consisted of 50 volumes for 158 topics. As the second attempt, Songja-Deajeon, the revised and enlarged edition of Wooam-Seonseng-Moonjip, was published with 91 volumes for 215 topics, 19 Appendices and another 2 volumes for the table of contents. Songja-Deajeon was published three times. It was first published at Kiyoung(箕營) in woodblock prints in 1787 AD (11th year of King Jeonjo) and later published also from woodblocks at Kikukjeong(杞菊亭) in 1926 and Namgan-Jeongsa(南澗精舍) in 1927, respectively, located in Daejon City.
