This research is a bibliographical investigation of ‘the first volume of DaebanggwangWongagYagsojuGyeong (DWYG: 大方廣圓覺略䟽注經) stored at Baekcheon temple(百泉寺 所藏本)’ in Sacheon, Gyeongnam Province. The results of the study are as follows. 1) The plate(板式), itself and so on of the stored at Baekcheon temple are similar to Treasure No. 891 Daebanggwangbulhwaeomgyeongso(大方廣佛華嚴經疏) and the same as Treasure No. 893 the first volume of DWYG. It has characteristics of the printed edition republished by ‘Song edition(宋板)’. Therefore, this book is a republished edition of the Song edition published in Goryeo period. 2) The stored at Baekcheon temple included gakpil(角筆) and Ink inscription kugyol(墨書口訣) of the Goryeo period. Gakpil must have been written in the Goryeo period, and the investigation revealed that the lower limit of inscription of ‘ / (야사가)’ from Ink inscription kugyol is at least from the late Goryeo period to early Chosen period. 3) It is confirmed that printed characteristics of the stored at Baekcheon temple are in complete conformity with those of Treasure No. 893 the first volume of DWYG stored by ‘Adan Mun-go’. 4) An investigation of the physical bibliographies of the stored at Baekcheon temple showed that the paper quality (thickness: 0.06∼0.09㎜, number of frame base sticks: 12∼16 sticks, width of frame base sticks: 2.0∼3.5㎝) is similar to the temple edition of the Goryeo period, which distinguishes it from temple edition of early Chosen period. Therefore, it was recognized that this book would have been published in at least the 14th century. Consequently, the stored at Baekcheon temple is proved to be a documentary heritage published in the 14th century Goryeo and should be promoted as a national cultural property.
