ABSTRACT

This research examined comprehensively the process and authorities of making the Goryeo Jaejo-Daejanggyeong(고려재조대장경). To remake Daejanggyeong, Daejangdogam(大藏都監), the central supervisory government office, and Boonsadogam (分司都監), local offices, were established, and the actual operations of engraving and printing were performed in the major temples at that time. Thus the work could be successfully completed. In this research, writer divided the whole process of making Daejanggyeong into 4 specific stages: pre-engraving stage, engraving stage, gathering panel stage, and printing stage. The respective stages were operated so systematically and efficiently that the huge project could be completed in 1251. It took just 16 years to finish. Joseonggi(造成記 writings on making) engraved at the end of it has been misunderstood as Gangi(刊記 writings on printing) in the previous researches. So Daejangdogam and Boonsadogam were also misunderstood as the places of engraving. However this research pointed out that .since the Goryeo Daejanggeong was made nationwide, its Joseonggi cannot be considered as Gangi like the ones in temple versions.
