To understand the process of publication and distribution of ancient Korean novels under the Joseon dynasty and Japanese occupation, collecting information on the publication of various printed materials and estimating their publication date through various methods is extremely important. In this study, the characteristics and differences that appeared in the woodblock printing process were investigated using image comparison among editions of the Honggildongjeon (Tale of Honggildong) of Wanpanbon (完板本) (published in the Jeonju region) with other commercial editions of the ancient Korean novels. Additionally, the publication year of each edition was estimated. Printed images of different versions were compared with those of a recently discovered original series version and the changes in the process of carving replacement woodblocks were investigated and summarized. Various phenomena, such as differences in fonts, borderline shapes and integrity of printed characters, appearing in woodblock prints provided useful information for determining chronological relationships between the prints and estimating the approximate publication year for each edition. The various characteristics of woodblock printing obtained through this study are expected to serve as a reference for estimating the relationship between the printing method and the approximate publication date of old books and paper-based printed historical records.

Photographic images of the Samseong-version (三省本: Korea's Treasure No. 758-1) and the Gongin-version (空印本: Korea's Treasure No. 758-2) of Nammyeongcheon Hwasangsong Jeungdoga (南明泉和尙頌證道歌: Nanmingquan Song Zhengdaoge) were compared and analyzed to investigate the differences between the two versions. According to a report in 2012 at the time of the designation of the Gongin-version as Korea's treasure, both versions were printed from the same woodblocks. The Gongin-version is presumed to be a later print than the Samseong-version. The two versions are very similar in format and shape of border lines and characters. It is difficult to determine the differences with the naked eye, even for experts. In this study, based on the printing characteristics observed from each version through image analysis, useful evidence to determine whether it was printed using the same or different woodblocks and the order of printing was collected. As a result of careful image comparison and analysis, we concluded that the Samseong- and the Gongin-version were printed from different woodblocks, or possibly different typesetting. It was difficult to agree with the content of the report that the Gongin-version was a later print than the Samseong-version. In addition, it was noted that the Gongin-version print has characteristics quite different from the typical characteristics of woodblock printing seen in the Samseong-version. Additional investigations and follow-up studies on the printing technology used for Gongin-version print and the timing of printing are recommended.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the editions of 'Jeokcheonsu', the best Myoungri Classic in name and reality, that was featuring dozens of annotations and interpretations from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and modern times. The original author of 'Jeokcheonsu' was Gyeongdo of the Song Dynasty, firstly annotated by Yugi of the late Yuan Dynasty to Early Ming Dynasty, and Im Cheolcho of the Qing Dynasty annotated again. However, several observations in the original text suggest that the author's period of writing is postulated since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and if the book is not likely to belong to the Song Dynasty, the author is also unlikely to be Gyeongdo of the Song Dynasty. Besides, if you look at the statements of Jin Soam and Jeong Jiwoon, who published the early editions of 'Jeokcheonsu', there are many negative opinions about the usual author recognition. In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of the four existing editions of 'Jeokcheonsu', 'Jeokcheonsu-Jibyo' edited and published by Jin Soam, 'Myeongri Suji Jeokcheonsu' revised by Jeong Jiwoon, 'Jeokcheonsu-Cheonmi' annotated by Im Cheolcho, and 'Jeokcheonsu-Jingui' edited and published by Seo Rako. It is hoped that this study will help us understand 'Jeokcheonsu' more deeply and help us with related research, such as comparative studies of annotations in the future.

Xinxu(新序) was published in Korea by 1492. Among the existing editions, the editions that can confirm the realities are the collections of Keimyung University, the Korean Studies Central Research Institute, Kyonggi University, Hujodang(後彫堂), and the National Assembly Library of Japan. The Keimyung University's precious book is the 'first published book', and the old book is the 'later published book' which covers pages 69-70 and 71-72 of the first published book. It is the 'later published book' that has the same side inscribed. The second books, the Central Research Institute of Korea Studies and the Kyonggi University Collection are the first published books, and the Hujodang and the National Assembly Library of Japan are on pages 9-10, 63-64, 87-88, 107-108. The corresponding side is the 'later published book'. Comparing the editions, it can be concluded that the existing editions of the previous editions have been withdrawn two times, and in the latter editions, the existing editions of four editions can also be confirmed to have been edited three times. In this paper, the literature based on the existing editions was studied and features of the Korean edition were presented. First, we examine the types of paragraphs. In principle, the text is composed of '11 lines and 18 characters', but on the actual version, the number of characters is shown in the table. In the Korean edition of the Joseon dynasty, a blank space appears in the original text. The erroneous letter in the Joseon book was identified the reason for the error was explained in detail.

"논어"는 진시황(秦始皇)의 "분서갱유(焚書坑儒)"로 크게 손실되었다가 한대(漢代)에 이르러 크게 "노론(魯論)", "제론(齊論)", "고론(古論)" 등 3개의 다른 판본이 출현하였다. "노론(魯論)"과 "제론(齊論)"은 각기 다른 사승관계에 의해 전수되어 오다 장우(張禹)에 의해 두 본이 하나로 합쳐지게 되었고, 이후 세상에서 널리 읽혀지게 되었다. 20세기(世紀) 말, 돈황(敦煌)과 토노번(吐魯番)에서 수많은 당사본(唐寫本)들이 발견되었는데, 그 중에 정현(鄭玄)의 "논어주(論語注)"와 하안(何晏)의 "논어집해(論語集解)" 등이 포함되어 있었다. 또한 1973년 서한(西漢) 중산(中山) 회왕(懷王) 유수(劉修)의 무덤에서도 죽간(竹簡)에 쓰여진 "논어(論語)"가 출토되었다. 본고에서는 현재 "논어" 판본 중에서 가장 이른 시기에 속하는 이들 3개의 출토문헌 자료와 전래본인 주자(朱子)의 "논어집주(論語集注)"의 비교를 통하여 한위(漢魏)시기 이래로 여러 "논어"본들이 정리되어가는 과정과 그 과정에서 파생된 제반 문제들을 살펴보았다. 이를 통하여 여러 판본들의 공통점과 차이점들을 살펴볼 수 있었고, 또한 한나라 이후 꾸준히 논란이 되어 왔던 내용과 이를 바탕으로 전래본에서 수정 보완된 부분들을 발견할 수 있었다. 기존 한국의 "논어" 연구는 후대의 전래본을 중심으로 그 철학적인 사상을 분석하는데 편중되어 왔다. 이들 연구는 상당부분 후대에 가미된 글자와 내용을 논어의 원문으로 오인하고, 이를 통해 추론해 낸 결론들도 원래의 사실과 거리가 있을 수밖에 없었다. 그러므로 우리는 20세기 이래로, 고고학적 발굴 성과에 힘입어 지하에서 출토되는 새로운 자료들에 대해 주위를 기울일 필요가 있다. 특히 최근에 출토되는 간독(簡牘)자료에 수많은 경전관련 자료들이 포함되어 있다. 이러한 일차 자료들을 정리분석하고 이를 토대로 그 안에 내재되어 있는 경학, 철학, 역사적인 의미 등을 추론해 낸다면 좀 더 근본적으로 고대사회의 정신문명을 이해할 수 있으리라 본다. 따라서 본 연구는 이러한 방향에서 "논어" 연구의 올바른 토대를 마련하기 위한 기초적 작업으로서의 의의가 있다고 하겠다.
