ABSTRACT

This study analyzes on the Yeokdaemyeonggam from the Catholic University of Daegu Library. The major findings are as follows: (1) Yeokdaemyeonggam(歷代明鑑) is a kind of record book which contains exemplary words and behaviors of persons in the Chinese dynasties to educate our sovereigns and loyal retainers, by revising and compiling several publications, Yeokdaegungam(歷代君鑑), Yeokdaesingam(歷代臣鑑) and Jehanghubimyeonggam(帝王后妃明鑑), as original texts. Hong Gwi Dal(洪貴達), Gwon Geon(權健), and Seong Hyeon(成俔) completed a set of book as 27 volumes in December of the 5th year of King Yeonsan’s reign (1499). (2) Yeokdaemyeonggam is composed of three parts named Gungam(君鑑), Hubigam(后妃鑑) and Singam(臣鑑), and each part is subdivided into two sections, ‘good manners’ and ‘bad manners’, based on characteristics of the contents. The section ‘good manners’ contains records on 214 persons of 32 Chinese dynasties, likewise, the section ‘bad manners’ includes notes on 107 persons of 27 Chinese dynasties. (3) Yeokdaemyeonggam was last published with the First Cast of Gapinja Type(初鑄甲寅字) in the 6th year of King Yeonsan’s reign (1500), and there was no additional edition after then. As the King Yeonsan was dethroned, it might be avoided to compile publications which had been produced at the periods of his reign. (4) According to analyzing the copies of Yeokdaemyeonggam owned by the Gwangsan Kim’s Yeanpa Family(光山金氏 禮安派宗家) and the Catholic University of Daegu Library, the entire full text of the book can be confirmed except for the lost parts from vol.5 to vol.7. (5) The copy of Yeokdaemyeonggam owned by the Catholic University of Daegu Library preserves the main text of the section on ‘good manners’, as well as the 87 articles on the 10 emperors of 3 Chinese dynasties included in Volume 4, which is the lost volume of the copy owned by the Gwangsan Kim Yeanpa Family (which has already been designated a National Treasure). The copy also contains the record and seal impression denoting that the copy was bestowed by King Yeonsan to Yi Goeng(李浤) in March of the 8th year of King Yeonsan’s reign (1502). For these reasons, the copy holds significant value. (6) The copy of Yeokdaemyeonggam owned by the Catholic University of Daegu Library holds significant value warranting a Local Cultural Property designation and further research, maintenance, and preservation in the future, for the following reasons: the copy provides the lost texts from the Yeokdaemyeonggam copy that was previously designated as a National Treasure; it is a copy bestowed by King Yeonsan; the copy was printed using the metal types in the early Joseon period; and the history of its inheritance and the place where it is held can be clearly certified.
