宣祖 年間의 「實錄印出廳題名記」에 관한 硏究

Abstract

In the Joseon dynasty, after editing and printing the Chronological Annals(실록), the Bureau of State Records(춘추관) enshrined these Annals at the Library in the palace and other 4 libraries on the steep mountains, and then washed the manuscripts of the Annals. The officials who edited the Annals were entertained twice for the appreciation of their work: firstly bestowed by the king and secondly after washing the manuscripts. They edited The Directory of the Compilation Office for Sillok(실록청제명기) in the Bureau of State Records. The officials recorded on The Directory of the Compilation Office for Sillok were endowed prizes. The same directory was either recorded at the end of the Annals or published as a monograph with the title of The Directory of the Compilation Office for Sillok(실록청제명기). This paper was intended to study the historical background of editing The Directory of the Compilation Office for Sillok and its contents. For the first step The Directory of the Printing Office for Sillok(실록인출청제명기) published in the reign of King Seonjo was analyzed. It is proved that The Directory of the Printing Office for Sillok must be the oldest extant book among the directories of the Compilation Office for Sillok, and those directories began to be published since the early Joseon dynasty. This particular directory was titled The Directory of the Printing Office for Sillok, because the officials participated only in printing, but not in editing. It simply included their full official titles and full personal names. As time passed, the contents were added such as the adult name, year of birth, year of passing the state examination, ancestral home, hours of duty and the business under his charge.
