연세대 57장본 "홍계월젼"의 이본적 특징과 가치

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore Yonsei University 57 jang-version <Honggyewoljyeon>’s characteristics and value as a different version. Yonsei University 57 jang-version is directly associated with Hanjungyeon 45 jang-version and the printed version among the different versions of <Honggyewoljeon>. Accordingly, here, this study has compared the three different versions to understand Yonsei University 57 jang-version’s universality and individuality and discussed its value as material based on that. The narratives of Yonsei University 57 jang-version, Hanjungyeon 45 jang-version, and the printed version are mostly similar in the beginning, middle part, and the ending. In fact, with comparison on other parts than the three areas, you can readily find great similarity between the three different versions. This tells us that Yonsei University 57 jang-version is a different version soundly equipped with the universality of the Hanjungyeon 45 jang-version line. The fact that there are most contents found in Yonsei University 57 jang-version and Hanjungyeon 45 jang-version only but not in the printed version implies that among the three different versions, these two different versions show greatest similarity. Meanwhile, since the printed version omits the contents only found in the two different versions too much and is not in coherence, it is evaluated as the one exhibiting the most faults. Contents only found in Yonsei University 57 jang-version and the printed version but not in Hanjungyeon 45 jang-version are the ones that either cannot be omitted or make it incoherent once omitted. Besides, we can also find not a few wrongly written words or Chinese characters in Hanjungyeon 45 jang-version all over. Due to this, Hanjungyeon 45 jang-version is evaluated to show lower completion than Yonsei University 57 jang-version in terms of accuracy in marking or the narrative. Contents only found in Hanjungyeon 45 jang-version and the printed version but not in Yonsei University 57 jang-version are either omitted or reduced not to affect the preceding or following context. Because of that, Yonsei University 57 jang-version is evaluated to have very effectively and thoughtfully omitted and reduced parts in its entire narrative. Most of the contents not found in Yonsei University 57 jang-version and Hanjungyeon 45 jang-version but found in the printed version are not always necessary; therefore, the context is not affected at all even though they are not there. Considering this, we can assume that contents only found in the printed version must have been newly added when the manuscript was planned to be a printed version. As examined above, Yonsei University 57 jang-version exhibits almost no fault compared with Hanjungyeon 45 jang-version or the printed version, and it was used as the good basis to create the Hanjungyeon 45 jang-version line and also as the main material to produce the printed version. Therefore, if follow-up research on <Honggyewoljeon> is going to discuss the Hanjungyeon 45 jang-version line, it would be desirable to take Yonsei University 57 jang-version <Honggyewoljyeon> as the text.
