眉叟 許穆 手稿本 篆書 字典 기초 연구

Abstract

The four manuscript seal script(篆書) dictionaries of Misu(眉叟) Hŏ Mok(許穆, 1595~1682) are core texts to understand his theory on the ancient style of Chinese characters and his calligraphy works mainly written in seal script, but have never been thoroughly surveyed so far. This report made attempt a bibliographical analysis of the four manuscripts, and discovered the facts below: firstly, Hŏ Mok’s Rhyme Dictionary of Stone and Bronze Scripts(金石韻府) is not his original book but excerpts from Chinese authority of the same titled book; secondly, Hŏ Mok’s Rhyme Dictionary of Ancient Scripts(古文韻律) is the work focusing on the Zhou script (Zhouwen 籀文) and ancient script (guwen 古文) of Shuwen Jiezi(說文解字), a.k.a. Explaining Graphs and Analyzing Characters; thirdly, Hŏ Mok’s Selected Rhyme Dictionary of Ancient Scripts(古文韻律抄) is not a selection of his Rhyme Dictionary of Ancient Scripts(古文韻律) but a compilation of all of his studies made so far on Chinese ancient scrips with most complete system out of his four dictionaries.
