AB - This study attempted to infer the methods of producing and setting Jikji types and their shapes by analyzing the traces of types in Jikji. Major findings are as follows:1) Jikji types were metal movable types produced by the wax casting method, with a matrix carved into soft materials such as wax, using manuscripts as the base.2) Jikji type was carved in full shape on the face of characters, and its side was not square, and showed irregular patterns. 3) Jikji type was approximately 5mm high, and set by the method of attaching with printing wax.4) The printing plate had fixed margins and vertical lines, and two metal plates in which a center title, chapters and pages could be assembled, were alternately used for printing.5) Jikji types were first cast for the purpose of printing certain books. However, Jikji was not the first book for which these types were cast and used.6) The techniques of casting, typesetting, and printing with Jikji types were not very efficient.
