Abstract

This research is to introduce the new content of 「Yeombul-yukjabeommun」 which has previously unknown, to examine the bibliographical aspect of the final manuscript written for the woodblock print, and to examine the aspect of Korean linguistics. As ‘the final manuscript written for the woodblock print’ is the only material that has not engraved, it is highly valuable as a material. In particular, the title of 「Yeombul-yukjabeommun」 has not been proven yet. 「Yeombul-yukjabeommun」 is the last of the six materials that are combined with the book titled 「Chyeongnyang-dap-sunjong-simyo- beommun」. It can be checked the title 「Yeombul-yukjabeommun」 and the annotator(interpreter) 「Jingong-bogakseonsa」. It is possible to estimate the time when the material was narrated with the heading 「Sungjeong-samyeon」(1631). This material is an interpretation of the six letters of ‘Namuamitabul’ and contains the purpose and background of the creation of Yukjabeommun which is the six letters Buddhist writings, the process of establishing the six letters theory, the value of the six letters theory and the attitude toward the Buddhist scriptures, the meaning of ‘Namuamitabul’ letters and supernatural powers, and the request and desire for all people deal with Yukjabeommun. As a feature of the final manuscript written for the woodblock print, the revised traces (replacement, recording, deletion) revealed, and some omissions (the sound of Chinese characters, Chinese characters) and errors also showed. In Korean linguistic features, various phonemes shown in the initial Hunminjeongeum almost disappeared in the notation and phoneme. The beginning sound used with ‘ㅇ, ㅅ, ㅈ, ㄴ, ㅎ, ㄹ, ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅌ, ㅊ, ㅳ, ㅍ, ㅺ, ㅼ, ㅋ, ㅶ’ (the frequency order). The middle sound used with ‘ㆍ, ㅕ, ㅣ, ㅏ, ㅗ, ㆎ, ㅡ, ㅑ, ㅓ, ㅔ. ㅜ, ㅖ, ㅛ, ㅠ, ㅘ, ㅐ, ㅢ, ㅚ, ㅝ, ㅟ, ㆌ’. And the final sound used with ‘ㅁ, ㅇ, ㄹ, ㄴ, ㄱ, ㅂ, ㅅ, ㄷ’. The notation method showed a trend of the syllabification and sometimes showed the double spelling. There is no vowel roundedness and sometimes found the palatalized notation such as ‘olchi’ and ‘gajyeo’. A number of notations after palatalization showed in the notation of the sound of Chinese characters.
