ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the historical records, previously known, and the records, newly discovered from Seungjeongwon Ilgi(承政院日記), regarding the technology of printing with movable soil-types. The major findings are as follows:(1) Movable soil-types are the generic name for all kinds of types made from any soil. (2) In Korea, the technology of printing with movable soil-types was invented by Gwon Bu(權孚) at Juja-Dong(鑄字洞) before 1729, the 5th year of King Yeongjo's reign. (3) In addition to the existing Samryak-Jikhae(三略直解), Gyeongsa-Jipseol(經史集說), Okchan(玉纂), Dongmyeong-Seonsaeng-Jip(東溟先生集), Gogeum- Myeongyu(古今名喩) was also printed with movable soil-types. And, such characters as Wal(曰) and Eun(狺) as well as Chim(忱), Chu(帚) and Hui(禧) have existed as movable soil-types. (4) The technique of producing movable soil-types was documented in detail only in Husaeng-Rok(厚生錄) written by Sin-Junghu(辛仲厚).
