외규장각에 소장되어 있던 도서들은 주로 왕실과 직접적인 관련이 있는 도서들이다. 1866년 병인양요 때 프랑스 해군이 극히 일부를 약탈해 가고 나머지 대부분은 소각하였다. 이때 약탈되어 프랑스 국가도서관에 소장되어 있던 도서들 중 일부가 2011년에 임대 형식을 빌어 반환되었다. 본 연구에서는 약탈 이전에 외규장각에는 어떤 도서가 소장되어 있는지를 알려주는 외규장각 형지안을 분석하여 외규장각에는 어떤 천문학 관련 도서가 소장되어 있었는지를 살펴본다. 특히 1631년 정두원이 한국사 최초로 망원경을 전래할 때 함께 가져 온 서양 천문학 지식이 담긴 서적들의 존재가 확인되며, 숙종본 천상열차분야지도의 초기 탁본이 프랑스 국가도서관에 보관되어 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 외규장각에 소장되어 있던 천문한 관련 도서들의 의의와 반환과 관련한 문제점에 대해서 검토하려 한다.

1631년 정두원이 명나라로부터 가져온 네 권의 과학서와 한 편의 보고서 가운데, 치력연기(治曆緣起)라는 책과 서양공헌신위대경소(西洋貢獻神威大鏡疏)가 강화도의 외규장각에 소장되고 있었다. 이 점에 유의하여 강화도 외규장각에 소장되어 있었던 천문학 및 수학 관련 서적을 조사해 보았다. 외규장각 소장 도서의 목록에 해당하는 외규장각형지안(外奎章閣形止案)을 조사하여, 소장 도서의 내역과 소장 상태의 변천을 알아낼 수 있다. 그 결과 서양공헌신위대경소는 1791년 신해박해 때 천주교 서적으로 오인되어 소각되었고, 치력연기는 1866년 병인양요 때 프랑스 해군에 의해 소각되었음을 알 수 있었다. 외규장각에는, Napier의 대수(logarithm)에 관한 아이디어가 반영되어 있는 쟈크 로우(Rho)의 주산(籌算)이란 책이 소장되어 있었고, 조선조 양대 물시계에 관한 보고서인 흠경각영건의궤(欽敬閣營建儀軌)와 보루각중수의궤(報漏閣重修儀軌)가 있었으며, 조선 국왕들이 천문에 관해 작성한 어제 및 어필이 소장되어 있었으며, 천문류초(天文類抄)와 천기대요(天機大要)와 같은 널리 사용되던 천문 및 음양학관련 서적이 소장되어 있었다. 특히, 1866년 프랑스 해군에 의해 약탈되어 현재 프랑스 파리 국가도서관에 소장되어 있는 천상열차분야지도는 숙종석각의 탁본으로 추정된다. 현재 10여 개의 탁본이 국내외에 남아 있으나, 최근 프랑스로부터 반환되게 된 외규장각 도서 내역에 천상열차분야지도가 포함되지 못하였다. 이와 관련하여 약간 토의하고자 한다.

해외에 유출돼 있는 우리 고서 중에는 국학연구에 없어서는 안될 귀중서도 적지 않다. 하지만 지금의 실정은 구체적인 소재지는 물론 그 대략적인 종수, 목록조차 파악되지 못한 것이 수두룩하다. 이번 외규장각도서 반환문제를 계기로 해외 고서들에 대한 정부의 적극적인 관심과 참여가 있어야 한다고 학자들은 하나같이 입을 모은다.

This study derived a method for establishing the chronology of cloud patterns by examining the arrangement of the treasure motifs in the cloud pattern used in the relevant pattern-decorated book covers of 89 Oegyujanggak Uigwe books, which are currently housed in the National Museum of Korea. The cloud pattern with a treasure motif was used in the covers of a total of 89 books from King Hyojong Gukjangdogam Uigwe (1659) to Sadoseja Garyedogam Uigwe (1744), spanning 86 years. First, to analyze the cloud pattern, it should be broken down into smaller parts to the extent that the different shapes of treasure motifs can be recognized. Secondly, the method of decoding the pattern is as follows: First, check whether the pattern is arranged in one or two directions from the vertex of the cloud's head, and determine the direction of the cloud tail. Then, decode the treasure motif's arrangement starting from the vertex of the cloud's head toward the direction the tail of manja is headed. Record the findings of this decoding process by categorizing them. Thirdly, as a result of the analysis, a total of 28 types of cloud patterns with treasure motifs were identified in 89 books. There were 45 types of treasure motifs used in such patterns. Finally, we have concluded that applying the method of decoding the treasure motif in the cloud pattern to portraits, excavated costumes, and various relics can be useful to establish the chronology of cloud patterns in the late Joseon period. The method suggested in this study is called 'The Reading Method of Chronology in Cloud Pattern with Treasure Motifs' (also 'Jeung-ha Cloud Pattern Reading Method').

In this article, how the records were compiled, stored and managed during the latter half period of the Joseon dynasty is examined. In details, the compilation of and and Euigwe, the establishment of 'history chambers(史庫)' and the Wae-Gyujanggak facility, and the creation of records such as 'Shillok Hyeongji-an', are all investigated. Examination of all these details revealed that in the latter half period of the Joseon dynasty, it was the royal family which actively led the task of meticulously compiling records and also storing & managing those established materials with great integrity and passion. The intention behind creating all these records containing everything the kings said and done over centuries must have been determination to enhance the openness and integrity of politics in general, while also emphasizing the importance of such values inside the government. In order to establish a tradition preserving records not only for a limited time period but also for eternity, 'history chambers' were founded in rocky mountain areas, and additional chambers(Wae-Sago) were created as well, in areas deemed strategically safe in military terms such as the Ganghwa-do island. Officials put in charge by the king himself of historical documenting reported to the history chambers on a regular basis and checked the status of the materials in custody, and the whole checking process was documented into a form called 'Shillok Hyeongji-an'. And for long-term preservation of materials, officials sent by the king regularly took all the materials outside, and conducted a series of 'desiccating procedures', under strong sunlight('Poswae'). Thanks to the efforts of our ancestors who did their best to preserve all the records, and tried everything to manage them with great caution, we can examine and experience all these centuries-old materials, mostly intact. It is imperative that we inherit not only the magnificent culture of creating and preserving records, but also the spirit which compelled our ancestors to do so.

After the establishment of the Korean Government in 1945, we were busy building up library collections, especially expanding the quantity of books. As a result, nowadays we witness the problem of limited space to keep the books. Space is one of the most important factors in the environment of library materials preservation. To solve this problem, we have to establish many levels of deposit library. The deposit library functions to preserve library materials. Preservation is defined as 'preservation', 'conservation' and 'restoration'. Deposit library was not for circulation that established in the Korea Dynasty, was succeeded by the branch libraries for Historical Deposit Libraries and branch library of Kanghwa magistracy of Kyujang-gak in the Chosun Dynasty. This study is to analyze the establishment, the activities and functions of the branch library of Kyujang-gak at Kanghwa Magistracy as a deposit library. Hence this study provides valuable information for future research of the history of deposit libraries in Korea.

During the ASEM(Asian-Europe Meeting) the president Kim Dae-jung have a conference with France president Jacques Chirac about the Waikyujanggak book restitution which the president Mitterand promised in 1993. The results of conference, equivalence of quality and quantity, have stirred up Korean public sentiment. The restitution of cultural asset is a very subtile problem in all of the country. The united Germany and from the Soviet Union dismantled Russia also have begun to discuss the library book restitution. These two countries had plundered library books each other during the World War II. To resolve the issue Germany and Russia are having several Round Table at governmental level and library expert level. However except Lituania and Georgia three are not many successful outcomes. This study based on the process of the book restitution the Germany and Russia being under way. Though our historical background is different from these two countries, we have a same problem.

Kyujang-gak was an institution established by the King Jungjo's order to enshrine and edit the royal writings and autographs, and to help the revival of learning with more active services in collection, control, and use of the important materials. Furthermore, it was aimed in its establishment to promote the settlement of an innovative and ideal Royal Regime. In this paper, the Outer Kyujang-gak(外奎章閣) of Kangwha Magistracy(江華府), which was one of the lower branches of the Kyujanggak(奎章閣), will be treated, especially about its details of establishment, location, functions, the characteristics and value of its collection. After the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592, the Historical Deposit Library(史庫) was established at the Kangwha Magistracy to take custody of the royal writings and autographs. An Annex(別庫) was built near by the Historical Deposit Library to enlarge the space in the reign of the King Hyojong. These spaces, however, become insufficient as the amount of materials deposited expanded, and custody for them was also not successful. Therefore, at the April of the 6th year of the King Jungjo's rule, the Outer Kyujang-gak was built at the east of the Temporary Palace(行宮) within Kangwha Magistracy, where the royal materials were deposited. This Outer Kynjang-gak was also called 'Kangdo Oe-gak(江都外閣)', 'Kyujang Oe-gak(奎章外閣)' or 'Simdo Oe-gak(心都外閣)', and its major function was to take custody of the materials and to hand them down to the next generations forever. The Kandwha Magistrate(江華留守) was responsible for the management of the Outer Kyujang-gak. Regular events for the book keeping were enshrinement, inventory and airing. In the 6th year in the reign of the King Jungjo, 4,892 volumes consisting of 762 titles were moved here from the Bon-gmodang(奉謨堂), the Seoseo(西序) in Main Palace, the Annex(別庫), the Deposit Library(史庫) mentioned above, the Kaegsa(客舍) and Chaeg-go(冊庫) within Kangwha Magistracy. By the end of the Joseon Dynasty, through fourteen times of addition altogether, the number of collection enshrined here reached 6,400 volumes consisting of 1,212 titles. The significance of this Outer Kyujang-gak established at the Kangwha Magistracy is in the point that this was one of the most important deopsit libraries of the Joseon Dynasty.
