ABSTRACT

This study has chased the book collection and change of general book stored in the libraries of Joseon Dynasty by reviewing the general collection of 36 volumes of the 17th-century Sillokhyeongjian. The brief history of Jeoksangsansago says that it was built in 1614, but all the real records except for newly written Seonjosillok were still stored in Myohyangsan mountain up until January 1633. The time when all the other records were completely transferred to Jeoksangsansago, was in 1634. Many Sillokhyeongjian books of Jeoksangsansago were written on an irregular basis, of which purposes were inspection, caring, storage, reading and transcription; most of them were written by Bonggyo Daegyo and Geomyeol officers of Yemungwan, while Dangsanggwan and Gisagwan officers of Chunchugwan were sent and wrote together when its purposes were storage, reading or transcription. 34 general books of Myohyansan Library and newly made 9 general books formed the collection of Jeoksangsansago. Every general book of Myohyansan Library was moved into Jeoksangsansago, we confirmed. However, 97 books stored at Yeongbyeonbu Library where the records of the early 17th century is temporarily stored, were not moved to Jeoksangsansago via Myohyansan Library. The number of general books at Jeoksangsansago kept increasing since then. 34 books in 1634 drastically increased to 149 in 1696. Beginning from religious books from the beginning, it enlarged to detailed record books and even to private works. Beside, many books were removed from the list at the same time, and then added again at the next Hyeongjian, several times. Through this fact, we would be able to know that the place was not just to store the books and the books were not just stored but actively used. This study as a beginning, would be able to figure out the overall change of royal book collection at the late Joseon Dynasty when it is integrated by the study on Sillokhyeongjian possessed by Gyujangjak, and the consecutive studies on the 18th and 19th centuries. Precise date of such work would be useful to check out the present collection of Jangseogak and Gyujanggak, as a very important tool to definitely rearrange the current list.
