18세기 朝鮮과 日本에서 편집한 李滉 書札 選集에 대한 一考察 -[退溪先生書節要]와 [李退溪書抄]를 中心으로-

Abstract

Leetoegye seocho (李退溪書抄) by Suguri Kyokusui and Toegye Seonsaeng Seojeolyo (退溪先生書節要) by Lee Sang-Jeong are the letter collections written by Lee Hwang edited in 18th century. Leejaseojeolyo (李子書節要) by Jeong Hon was compiled before that time and Tweoseoyujib (退書類輯) by Kim Deok-Ryeon and Tweoseobaekseon (退書百選) by Lee Jeong-Ro was after that time. Now, we are especially examining Japan’s Leetoegye seocho and Korea’s Toegye Seonsaeng Seojeolyo which showed some similarities in the postscript of Toegye Seonsaeng Seojeolyo in 18th century. Both Toegye Seonsaeng Seojeolyo and Leetoegye seocho followed the sequence of letters which were part of Toegyejib (退溪集). Furthermore, they had similar structures overall because they imitated the editing skill of Jujaseojeolyo (朱子書節要) by Lee Hwang. However, details varied such as the recipients, whether the preface existed or not, the way to present the table of contents and how to annotate. Toegye Seonsaeng Seojeolyo put in more characters than Leetoegye seocho that dealt with fewer figures but carried more letters. Leetoegye seocho went into detail of “Chronology (年譜)” and “Behavior (行實)” of Lee Hwang’s life and the list of recipients and the number of letters were put in every volume. The preface by Goga Seiri and the postscript by Okada Kansen were put in, too. Yet, Leetoegye seocho omitted the preface and revealed recipients’ nicknames, pen names, hometowns, and the relationship with Toegyeo on the list of Jeja (諸子). Toegye Seonsaeng Seojeolyo edited by Lee Sang-Jeong was published with being attached the postscripts by Jeong Jong-Ro and Kim Goeng who followed Lee Sang-Joeng. Through their postscripts, Kim Jong-Deok who was one of Lee Sang-Jeong’s disciple participated in editing and his grandchild, Lee Byeong- Woon led the publication. Lee Byeong-Woon spoke in the postscribe that Leetoegye seocho complied by Suguri Kyokusui came to Joseon Dynasty through dispatching envoy. Moreover, he told that Toegye Seonsaeng Seojeolyo wasn’t influenced directly by it in the process of complication. The letter from Lee Sang-Jeong didn’t put in Toegye Seonsaeng Seojeolyo collected by the National Museum of Korea. Instead, Lee Sang-Jeong’s letter was put that contained the details of editing and the standard of selection at the end of Toegye Seojeolyo (退溪書節要) (Toegye Seonsaeng Seojeolyo), Volume X included in Daesan Jeonseo (大山全書). Toegye Seojeolyo in Daesan Jeonseo seemed a manuscript before printing a block book.
