智異山 所在 寺刹의 朝鮮時代 開板佛書 硏究

Abstract

In the Joseon Dynasty, a total of 120 kinds of Buddhist books were published in 26 temples of Jirisan. This study examines the characteristics of those Buddhist temple editions by analyzing them according to regions and exchanges of printing technicians among temples. Major findings are as follows:The temples of Hamyang region with the complete collection of the 14th and 15th centuries were assumed to be the powerful printing center in the early Joseon period. The temples of Hadong region published a lot of books for teaching and lecturing Buddist monks, because plenty of monks in the 16th and 17th centuries gathered, following prominent Zen masters such as Jieom and Buhyu. It was prevalent in the temples of Sancheong region in the early 18th century to copy and engrave the Chinese Buddhist books found on the wrecked Chinese ships at Imjado. Among the temples of Gurye region, Hwaeomsa showed the most frequent publications, including the publication of various Buddhist schiptures, books on esoteric Buddhism, miraculous efficacy, and Buddhist ceremonies. The temples of Namwon region published books only in the late 18th century. The re-publication of Annotation of the Avatamska Sutra at Daeamjeongsa in 1770 was regarded most important, because many monks in the neighbor areas and major temples in Gyeongsang-do mentally and financially and cooperated. The names of some engravers and printers commonly found on the publications of various temples proved the cooperation and exchange of human resources among those temples of Jirisan in the Joseon period.
