허준 편․간의 언해본 의서와 관련 판본에 관한 연구

Abstract

This paper aims to examine Heo Jun's Eonhae(“Korean-translated Version”) medical texts and their related editions. The paper will examine the subject in the following order: Naeuiwon(royal clinic in the Joseon Dynasty) and its compilation and publication of medical texts; the compilation and publication of Eonhaegoogeupbang, Eonhae- doochangjipyo, and Eonhaetaesanjipyo; the form and contents of the Eonhae books; a comparison of the Eonhae books and Donguibogam; the editions related to the Eonhae texts; and the Korean language characteristics of the Eonhae texts. Naeuiwon, in charge of compiling and publishing medical texts, established a separate bureau from the 41st year of King Seonjo's reign (1608) to the 7th year of King Gwanghaegun's reign (1615) and published medical books compiled, proofread and supervised by court physicians with wooden movable types. Eonhaegoogeupbang was compiled and published from the 34th year of King Sejo's reign(1601) to the 40th year of Seonjo's reign (1607) by referring to Googeupbang published during King Sejo's reign, Donguibogam and several other medical texts. Eonhaedoochangjipyo was made by referring to Changjinjip which Im Wonjun compiled during King Sejo's reign, as well as to other smallpox- related medical texts and Chinese medical texts. Eonhaetaesanjipyo was published in wooden type by Naeuiwon with reference to Taesanyorok, Donguibogam and other gynecology-related medical texts. Since both the original editions of the Eonhae texts and their reprints exist, they are extremely valuable in studying the editions, and excellently represents the notation, phonemes, and lexicons of the modern Korean language used in the 17th century. It is certain that they will be considered important resources in the fields of bibliography, Koreanology and Eastern medicine.
