ABSTRACT

This paper is a study of the hangeul manuscripts which were produced during the wedding ceremony of Crown Prince Yi Cheok, later King Sunjong, to the new crown princess Yun and her coming-of-age ceremony. A total of 26 extant hangeul manuscripts are examined: 1 investiture letter, 8 portable records of ritual protocols, and 10 item lists related to the wedding ceremony, and 1 letter of felicitation, 5 portable records of ritual protocols, and 1 item list related to Crown Princess Yun’s coming-of-age ceremony. The production background and purpose of each hangeul manuscript are examined in terms of its physical form, contents, and records contained in royal protocols. Hence, it can be verified that these hangeul manuscripts were specially produced to assist court servants, female court servants in particular, who participated in the rituals in which Crown Princess Yun was involved to proceed and prepare for the rituals. Female court servants used the investiture letter, letter of felicitation, and portable records of ritual protocols aids in proceeding with the rituals or to announce the procedures of the ceremony; item lists were used as detailed records of preparing various items before and after the ceremony.
