仁祖 및 孝宗實錄字의 刻字考

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to reveal the primary factors and the scale of the wooden types which had been engraved to print the Injo-sillok and Hyojong-sillok. Many types were necessary to print book at once for saving the printing time because the sillok was printed using a lot of typesetting plates, generally. Basically because of the lack and abrasion of existing types, the demands for making supplementary wooden types were increased. The great part of typesetting craftmen belonged to Kyoseogwan and the rest of them belonged to Kwansangkam, etc. To recognize the exact number of types, we need to calculate the amount of woods used to make the types more than the number of engravers who were mobilized from countries in rotation. Boxwood tree and birch were main timber to make the wooden types. Usually the former was provided from Kangwondo, the latter was supplied by Kyoseogwan anytime if necessary.
