AB - As a brief bibliography of doctors who worked at Naeuiwon (Royal Hospital), Naeuiwonseonsaengan (List of Royal Doctors) describes the doctors’ profiles and activities. It lists the individual doctors’ pen name, alias, original family clan, date of birth, and time of joining the Royal Hospital and chronologically describes the bibliographic data of former doctors and their parental and maternal forefathers including fathers, grandfathers, and great-grand fathers as well as personal information. As such, the data are very valuable.
Based on previous studies, this study - from the perspective of medical history - examined the lineage and philosophies of these royal doctors and officials including Heo Jun(1539∼1615) (author of Donguibogam, which was registered as the UNESCO’s Memory of the World in 2009). Specifically, this study examined the bibliographies of Naeuiwonseonsaengan as well as the background of compilation thereof and compilation methods based on the preface of the book. The book’s significance and medical values were examined by reviewing the book’s theme items and attachments.
Royal doctors served as technocrats for 400 years in nobility-oriented Joseon society, and their personal records are considered essential for studying Korean medicine in the second half of the Joseon period. Listed in Heo Jun’s book of medicine, Naeuiwonseonsaengan presents Heo Jun’s own preface and describes contents not found in several books of the same kind and Uigwabo (list of passers of the state-run Gwageo examination) ; it is very valuable in researching Heo Jun and medicine of the mid-Joseon period. Moreover, it is considerably different from other medical records in terms of description methods and contents, making examining historical figures engaging in medicine very worthwhile.
