규장각 소장 全州全氏 中人집안 고문서 고찰: 全得龜(1740~?) 가계를 중심으로

Abstract

This paper examined the old documents of the Jeon Deukgu family, held by Kyujanggak, Seoul National University. The Jeon Deukgu family, a member of the Jeonju Jeon clan Jung-in family, is the second son’s family of Jeon Isang, which primarily produced Japgwa after the 18th century. Among the documents held by Kyujanggak, at least 199 pieces of old documents belonging to the family were found, which were once preserved by not only Jeon Deukgu, but also his descendants. The family's old documents were mainly formed in the period in which Jeon Heungdae, the first son of Jeon Deukgu was active, and kept by the family until the 19th century and might be sold by a bookstore dedicated to old documents to Keijo Imperial University during the Japanese colonial period. The documents had been created across periods ranging from the mid-18th century to the late-19th century. They include documents for appointment, such as Gosin (告身) and Gwan-go (官誥), as well as Gong-in Documents (貢人文書) and contract documents about real-estate and houses. In particular, the contract documents about real-estate and houses account for a larger portion of them, because of the higher portion of sales notes of the prior owners (舊文書). This paper attempted to arrange the relations among documents, by discovering documents related to those about real-estate and houses that the Jeon Deukgu’s family had possessed until the 19th century, and then represented them in the form of a table. The contract documents about real-estate and houses, belonging to the Jeon Deukgu’s family are valuable, in the they represent Jung-in’s economic activity.
