오공신회맹축 4종의 전래 배경 및 서지적 비교 고찰

Abstract

After his ascension to the throne, King Sejo, the seventh king of Joseon, gathered the Five Meritorious Subjects and their descendants, including members of the royal family in 1456. The Axis of the Five Meritorious Subjects’ Allied Ritual Records contains the written prayer used at this gathering, a list of those present, and their signatures. To date, the existence of the Axis of the Five Meritorious Subjects’ Allied Ritual Records has been confirmed by a total of four physical copies. Of these, the one handed down to the Imcheonggak of the Goseong Lee family and the one kept in the SNU Gyujanggak are still in existence, while the one owned by Ma Gihwa of the Jangheung Ma family and the one owned by Lee Janggi of the Goseong Lee family are unknown. Each of these four sources can be studied through real objects, video, and photographic images to understand their historical background and bibliographic features. In short, The Imcheonggak’s one and the Ma Gihwa’s one are the complete versions of the texts that have been passed down through the generations and are the standard against which other sources are compared. The Imcheonggak’s one is the only original that can be verified to date, while the Gyujanggak’s one is a later transcription based on the original. The Lee Janggi’s one is unknown since its broadcast in 1987, but if it is later identified, it should be examined in detail alongside the Imcheonggak’s one as an original.
