AB - This research tries to explore the meaning and value of ‘the Jeungdogaja(證道歌字) and the Goryeo(高麗) Four-legged Style Types’ by examining comprehensively the current trend of researches on those types. The results are as follows: 1) It is confirmed that ‘Goryeo Metal Movable Types, that is, the Jeungdogaja and the Goryeo Four-legged Style Types’ are very valuable cultural assets which deserve to be registered as UNESCO Memory of the World as well as the Korean national treasures.
2) It was documented that the metal movable type edition of Nammyeongchon Hwasang Songjeungdoga(「南明泉和尙頌證道歌」) had been published around 1211.
3) With the measurement of radiocarbon dating method, the ink stains on the surface of the Jeungdogaja types were strongly suggested ‘the inks produced in the early 13th century’. Therefore, it was proved that the Jeungdogaja were the authentic Goryeo metal movable types. As a result, the Jeungdogaja were definitely the first metal movable types in the world, with which Nammyeongchon Hwasang Songjeungdoga was printed in the early 13th century(around 1211).
4) The casting techniques of the genuine ‘Goryeo Four-legged Style Types’ were succeeded to the casting of ‘Heungdoksaja(興德寺字)’ with which Jikji(「直指」) was printed in 1377, and also inherited to the casting of the Gyemija(癸未字) and Gyeongjaja(庚子字) types in the early Joseon(朝鮮).
