Abstract

An Jeong Bok (安鼎福; 1712-1791) wrote Donsagangmok (東史綱目) in 1760. However, at that time the text was still an incomplete draft version. Through this study, it was found that a transcription copy of Donsagangmok called “the first draft” (草稿本) was housed in the Yonsei University Library. In the first draft copy kept in the Yonsei University Library, traces of the modifications made by An Jeong Bok from 1778 to 1785 can be found. The book contains newly-discovered facts and records of deletions or modifications. Another transcription copy of Donsagangmok called “the second draft book” (修正本) is also housed in the library. It reflects the parts that were modified and organized by An Jeong Bok. An Jeong Bok started his first revisions from 1776 to 1778. He offered the book to King Jeongjo (正祖; 1776-1800). However, due to the incomplete contents and excessive number of misspellings, An Jeong Bok began working on a second revised version, which was completed in 1785. This became the final Dongsagangmok text. Nevertheless, the book was not published under the Chosun Dynasty. Although it was widely transcripted and disseminated by the intellectual class, especially under the Daehan Empire, it was only published in 1915. This first published version was the same as the second revised version of the 1780s. An Jeong Bok’s different ways of narrating history in the first and second drafts illustrated a change in his historical awareness, as is clearly reflected in his assessment of Kings U and Chang of Goryeo. An Jeong Bok denied the narration of the Goryeosa (高麗史), which claimed that the two kings should be deposed for being the sons of Shin don. More detailed studies are needed to examine this change in historical awareness and narration as revealed through the revision process.
