This study aimed to compare and analyze two respective versions of Jusikbangmun: Nogajae's and National Library of Korea. Types and composition of recipes, archives, classification of names and contents, techniques, tools, and measurement were analyzed. Nogajae's, owned by the Yuwagong family, has established sources while the writer and its publication year are unknown. The other version from the National Library of Korea, on the other hand, has a clear publication year (February, Year Jeongmi) while writer is unclear. In terms of its archive, Nogajae's is twice the size as that of the National Library of Korea, which is the same percentage (85.42%) as that from Nogajae's. However, six types of liquor have been written in its 2 books, respectively, and no overlaps occurred. Considering the Korean alphabet, Nogajae's was published earlier. Nogajae's and the one from the National Library of Korea have 104 kinds of foods (118 times) and 50 kinds of foods (51 times), respectively.
