ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to investigate Songjae Seonsaeng Munjip, the Collection of Songjae’s Work, and then to discuss the contribution of Oh Un who led its publication, in the history of printing culture. When Yi Wu was serving as a ministry of Chungju, Yi Hwang, his nephew, collected and transcribe his poems and then published them as Songjae Sijip. Oh Un, a book lover, had written and compiled many books. In surveying the printing condition of Songjae Sijip, we notice that Yi Hwang’s handwriting was exactly engraved in volumes 1 and 2, but its supplements and appendices were so roughly engraved and printed as to unfit the norms of the writer. Nevertheless, Songjae Sijip occupies very important position among Oh Un’s compilations, since it was the very first publication which was compiled by Oh Un, and therefore made him the publisher and compiler in a serious sense. Yi Wonno later collected his anscester Yi Woo’s poetry as many as he could, compiled the sequel, and published them with the original as Songjae Seonsaeng Munjip. The publication of Songjae Seonsaeng Munjip enables complete works of Yi Woo to be passed down from generation to generation. And it is important to recognize the publication of Songjae Sijip by Oh Un on its base.
