ABSTRACT

This study aims to examine the relationship between Pahanjip, the first Korean book about poems and their related stories and Bohanjip, which was published 40 years later. The main focus of this study is the extensive and augmentative relationship between two books. There were two main reasons to publish Bohanjip. One was the insufficiency of Pahanjip itself, and the other was the demand which the writer of Bohanjip and people around him realized to supplement Pahanjip. As a result of the study, Pahanjip was excessively oriented toward Lee Inro’s personal achievements and his view points about literature. Those were recognized as negative factors by other writers. The leading figure who criticized Lee Inro was Choi Wu, who was the ruler of the times. The writer of Bohanjip was Choi Ja. In comparison to Pahanjip, there existed a will to extend and develop the contents of Pahanjip in Bohanjip. In extension parts, the quantity and areas of data were expanded. In addition, criticism became more various, and objectivity increased. Bohanjip contains contents which were compiled and evaluated more carefully than Pahanjip. Lee Inro’s rhetorical device which quoted famous old writers’ writing was replaced by Originality Theory. Lee Inro’s place as the head of literary circles was replaced by Lee Gyubo. The efforts to extend the old book and develop it into the new one made a significant contribution to early Korean poetry books.
