ABSTRACT

This study examines the transmission and the characteristics of Buddhist old books at Baekryeonam, a mountainous mine located in Haeinsa, Hapcheon, Gyeongnam. Through the catalogues of Buddhist books and the collector’s stamps, it was possible to confirm the collections of lay Buddhists Hyewol Yu Seong-jong, Leejae Yu Kyung-jong and Kim Byung-ryong were transmitted to Seon master Ven. Sung Chol. Yu Seong-jong was the leading publisher of Buddhist books at the Jeongwonsa and the Gamrosa societies in the late 19th century. In particular, he possessed a large number of Chinese Jiaxing Scriptures and Ming and Qing Buddhist editions, which were mainly used as quotations in the compilation of these societies. Yu Kyung-jong and Kim Byoung-ryong also published these books by revising them in correcting and supporting the budget at the Yeonsa and the Joseonbulgyohoe in the 1910s and 1920s. It is also believed that they were the subjects who reprinted four Buddhist editions of Geumneung Publisher in China. The Buddhist book collection of Baekryeonam is the historical materials that can reveal the background of the publication of Buddhist books in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and the exchange of books with China. It is also expected to collect and research the Chinese Buddhist editions circulated in Korea.
