Abstract

This study aims to show the real state of Geumho and Dongho lending libraries account book. And the understanding of the it’s reality shoud enable to recognize the characteristic of Geumho and Dongho lending library. At the lending library account book, the title of lending books, checkout dates, borroews' names and address, pawned items are recored. Geumho and Dongho are the outskirts of Seoul, near the Han River. There are considerable people in late Joseon period, for that reason, lending library would be founded. In the same time, Hyangmok-dong lending library is operating actively in the gate of Seoul. These two lending library, in and out the gate of Seoul, are very different from each other in many points. For example, in the point of the method of record, Geumho and Dongho lending library account book is recorded in sequence of date, but Hyangmok-dong account book is recorded for each work. Above this, There are the record or unrecord of borrower’s address and pawned items, the full-length novel’s rate of all lending books, etc. in such differences, it is most important that there is not a equality of volume in the same work. For example, Geumho lending library’s Namjeongpalnangi has 19 volumes, but Hyangmok-dong’s Namjeong- palnangi has 14 volumes. Dongho lending library’s Changseongamuirok has 12 volumes, but Hyangmok-dong’s Changseongamuirok has 10 volumes. In this study we can understand that there are differences of characteristic between in and out of Seoul, or big scale shop and small scale shop. I think the study on the lending library account book is not enough to conclude, so higher organization and synthesize are definitely needed.
