This study objected books having been imported from China until the 7th century when unification was made among the three kingdoms together with distributed books by Korean nationals after compiling them, and clarified main characteristics by investing their whole pictures. The three kingdoms had imported books from China from the 5th century, and made them reflect to the enactment of laws and regulations, introduction of educational system, promotion of learning, international diplomacy, and national history compilation etc for settling down the ancient nation. And Buddhism having been transmitted to the Korean Peninsula in the late 4th century was nothing more than simple handing-down Buddhist scriptures in early stage, but teaching and learning developed into levels of forming new sects after the 7th century when the complete collection of Buddhist Sutras was introduced, so the study paid attention to a fact that full-scale compilation of our collection literature was appearing. As the result of analyzing the phenomena of book distributions till the 7th century when the three kingdoms were unified in this way, transmitted books showed concentrating aspects to confusion and Buddhist literature mainly, and books having been compiled by Korean nationals themselves appeared high in history books of the three kingdoms and collection literatures of Buddhism, and also a fact was grasped such like Sohak books required for basic learning and professional ones on science fields were imported from other countries. Most books having been distributed in the three kingdoms at that time were imported from the 6th century really, so majority of them seemed to be supplied with manuscript forms. However, this study considered the possibility of using bamboo scriptures on history books such as Liugi(留記) and Seogi(書記) etc that had been compiled before the 5th century at the three kingdoms.

Objective : Euimunbogam(醫門寶鑑) is a synthetic medical book based on Dongeuibogam(東醫寶鑑), which was written by Myoung-Shin Zhu(周命新) in middle of Joseon era. And the book was published by Myoung-Seok Lee(李命錫) in 1918. This book has generally known as it's written in 1724 so far. But the life of Myoug-Shin Zhu is not well-known, and the year when Euimunbogam was compiled should be reconsidered. Method : We will find the historical records of Myoug-Shin Zhu through the close study of Joseon literatures. Result : Seungjeongwonilgi(承政院日記), Ilsungrock(日省錄), Taeuiwonseonsaengan(太醫院先生案), Yeolha diary(熱河日記), Yeonamgip(燕巖集), Euimunbogam show that Myoug-Shin Zhu was born in 1729 and he died in 1798. He worked as Ju-Bu(主簿) in HyeMinseo(惠民署) and Euiyakdongcham(醫藥同參) in Naeuiwon(內醫院). Conclusion : Myoug-Shin Zhu wrote Euimunbogam in 1784. And he was one of the famous physicians during the period between the king Young-Jo and Jung-Jo.

As ongoing construction of a new municipal government building leads to the destruction of the interior of the Kyungsung Municipal Government Building(currentlySeoul Metropolitan City Hall) despite its enormous historic value, this study aims to identify the unique features of spatial composition and interior design of the Kyungsung Municipal Government Building, which is widely known as a typical example of public architecture of the 1920s. The primary goal is to perform a systemic arrangement of its interior data and define the modern historic implications of its interior design, thereby laying the foundation for a compilation of the history of modern interior design. From a historical perspective, the Kyungsung Municipal Government Building-an explicit symbol of Japanese colonial supremacy-has served as the administrative hub of a hugecity for 19 years during the Japanese colonial rule and for 64 years following Korea's independence from Japan. From the perspective of architectural history, it also represents modern transitional buildingsin their shift from historicism into modernism, as manifested by its reasonable placement of interior space matching well with topographical form, easy access by citizens, open office space, and, excluding decoration, a simple and non-authoritarian exterior. Its interior design style follows Western historicist architecture, whereasits simple interior decoration embodies expressive characteristics of pragmatic simplicity. Such elements are notably found in the Grand Central Hall, the Municipal Head's Reception Room, and the Grand Conference Room.

The book, "Euibangyoochui醫方類聚"(A.D. 1445) is called the treasure-house of the knowledge of medical science, due to the 50,000 prescriptions and an enormous amount of medical information that it contains. But in spite of the importance of this book, a convenient and efficient method to use the information in this book isn't developed yet and as a result the use of this book in a low state. Therefore before than anything else, there is necessity to establish the database on "Euibangyoochui". Before the establishment of database on "Euibangyoochui", there are basic works that should be preceded as follows; like the correction through investigating and comparing between the texts that are related with "Euibangyoochui", interpretation, proofread and translation to Korean of the original. And also bibliographical research on "Euibangyoochui". The compilatory course and transmissional system of the medical books in first term of Chosun(朝鮮) was able to apprehend through the bibliographical research about "Euibangyoochui". Also, many emergency medical books and books about the prevention of the infectious diseases mostly based on "Euibangyoochui" were wrote and put to practical use. And this fact, tells us that the compilation of "Euibangyoochui" was supported by the government of Chosun as means to accumulate the medical knowledge.

Objectives : Zheng Zhi Xin Chuan(證治心傳) is a compact compilation of 14 discussions on medicine, written by Yuan Ban(袁班) in the late Ming-early Qing period. Methods : To survey the scholarly position of Yuan Ban(袁班) in the history of Wenbing by systematically analyzing and organizing Wenbing related theories in Zheng Zhi Xin Chuan (證治心傳). Results & Conclusions : In his book, YB suggests concepts such as 'mainly attack upper heater(多犯上焦)', 'transmission to the nutrient phase(轉入營分)', 'sequential transmission(順傳)', 'abnormal transmission(逆傳)', 'dryness invasion of human body in autumn(秋傷於燥)'. In the history of Wenbing, it has been widely acknowledged that the concept of weiqiyingxiebianzheng(衛氣營血辨證) and abnormal transmission to the pericardium(逆傳心包) were originally suggested by Ye Tianshi(葉天士). However, according to the findings of this study, these concepts are traced back to the contents of YB's publication, nearly a century before Ye's time. In addition, YB's discussion on '秋燥' was highly advanced than any other scholar of his time, hinting his influence on medicine thereafter.

${\ll}$Bangyakhappyeon(方藥合編)${\gg}$ was written by Hwang Do-Yeon (黃度淵) and his son Hwang Pil-Soo (黃泌秀) in the late days of Chosun Dynasty, when the country was in a state of social confusion by the first introduced western civilization and invasion of the foreign powers. In response to this situation where realistic knowledge and solution was of importance than theological review, Hwang and his son wrote the book to satisfy the needs. The book, ${\ll}$Bangyakhappyeon(方藥合編)${\gg}$ furthered new publishment of abstract asian medical science in a more compact form, emphasizing more realistic means of it. This new publishment were a significant counter-measure to cope with the inflow of practical western medicine, which the move has moreover enhanced popularization of Han Medicine(韓醫學). After reviewing ${\ll}$Bangyakhappyeon(方藥合編)${\gg}$ in xylographical approach, I have acquired conclusions as below.

We search for possible deviations from the expectations of the concordance ΛCDM model in the expansion history of the Universe by analysing the Pantheon Type Ia Supernovae (SnIa) compilation along with its Monte Carlo simulations using redshift binning. We demonstrate that the redshift binned best-fitting ΛCDM matter density parameter Ω_0m and the best-fitting effective absolute magnitude 𝓜 oscillate about their full data set best-fitting values with considerably large amplitudes. Using the full covariance matrix of the data taking into account systematic and statistical errors, we show that at the redshifts below z ≈ 0.5 such oscillations can only occur in 4 to 5 per cent of the Monte Carlo simulations. While statistical fluctuations can be responsible for this apparent oscillation, we might have observed a hint for some behaviour beyond the expectations of the concordance model or a possible additional systematic in the data. If this apparent oscillation is not due to statistical or systematic effects, it could be due to either the presence of coherent inhomogeneities at low z or due to oscillations of a quintessence scalar field.

The systematic research on the Joseon history under Japanese imperialism in the 1920s, including that of the Joseon History Compilation Committee, was one of the stratagems that Japan employed to perpetuate the colonization of Joseon. The 'renovation of national traits', one of the three cultural measures taken by Japanese imperialism after the 1919 Independence Movement, was an attempt to degrade Joseon's nationality as extraneous, dependent, factional, and uncivilized. Against this, Koreans tried to create their own tradition that could prove Joseon's uniqueness and independence. The purpose of their study on ancient history, which became animated in the 1920s, was not to escape from the reality of Joseon into the idealized past, but to construct the history of Korean people anew. In this context, Dangun could refer to cultural identity as the communal origin of the nation, and this invented identity could lead to the healing of the injured subject. An Hwak's attempt was part of this efforts to call out myth as history. He suggests that Joseon's national traits are superior even to the Western civilization in several ways, and his vast plan to set up Joseon's cultural uniqueness and identity as history of universal civilization bore fruit in the History of Joseon Civilization. With cultural research for figuring out Joseon's national peculiarity and identity and historiography for revealing Joseon's national potential, he makes it possible for people to imagine various agents in the Joseon's past as belonging to a single nation with an identical history. Through his study on Joseon, he fought back the Japanese colonial view of history and tried to exalt national consciousness. Asserting independent and rational individuals as agency of civilization and culture though firm in the national perspective, he eventually went a way quite different from that of Japanese history of culture.

The $S{\bar{u}}tra$ of Great Dhāraṇī of the Uṣṇīṣa-cittā is one of the most widely published scriptures of Esoteric Buddhism during the Goryeo and Joseon dynasty. The sutra is often referred to as a Buddhist medical scripture whose recitation is believed to allay diseases such as difficult birth, chest pain, and infectious and incurable diseases. It utilizes two major methods for healing: reciting and copying the sutra or copying the dharani and talisman which appear at the end of the text with fine cinnabar and ingesting them with aromatic water. In order to understand the medical and historical value of this sutra, this study examines the historical background of its establishment in early China and its migration to Korea in the Goryeo period. This study also investigates the identity and value of the scripture in Buddhist medical history. The oldest known printed texts of the sutra in Korea are dated to the late 11th century. Because of the material benefits of the text, the tradition of printing and distributing the sutra was very popular between the 13th and 19th centuries. Therefore, examples of the sutra having been used for medicinal purposes during rites are found in historical records. Finally, the study tries to identify the relationship between the treatment methods of the Sutra and those of Korean traditional medicine focusing on several Korean traditional medical texts such as the Hyangyak-Jibseongbang (Compilation of Native Korean Prescriptions), the Donguibogam, and the Euibang-Hapbu.

This research aims to organize and introduce "Dongyeopyengo(東輿便攷)" housed by the National Library of Korea that contains a limitless number of proofreading and adding marks in the margin of the pages, and to look into the academic value that it has in the history of geography book compilation. In conclusion, first, "Dongyeopyengo" was compiled with contents originated from "Sinjungdonggukyeojisungnam(新增東國輿地勝覽)" removed, under the reign of King Sunjo(純祖, 1800~1834). Second, mostly under the reign of King Sunjo, "Dongyeopyengo" has gone through proofreading and adding process based on information from "Donggukmooneonbigo (東國文獻備考)". Third, under the reign of King Heonjong(憲宗, 1834~1849), proofreading and adding work was performed based on various materials including "Jungjeongnamhanji(重訂南漢志)". Fourth, the compiler of "Dongyeopyengo" is surely Kim Jeong-ho(金正浩), considering documentations on the transfer of central city of Yangju (楊州) and the overall tendency found in geography book compilation. "Dongyeopyengo" is an important documentation that depicts the process of geography books that proceeded in the early years of his life as the greatest geographer in Korea, and it holds academic values in that it helps us to understand the life of Kim Jeong-ho prior to 1834, to which people has not paid much attention due to the lack of material and documents.
