『삼관기』 이본들에 나타난 작품 구성의 특징

Abstract

Yi Jae is the original author of Samgwangi (三官記) in classical Chinese which consists of three different parts in the names of ‘igwan(耳官)’, ‘mokgwan(目官)’, and ‘simgwan(心官)’ respectively. The Samgwangi versions in classical Chinese in general share these three parts, and include interesting stories related to women from the Noron or Old Doctrine faction who were active and tenacious. Yi wanted to stress unusual talents of those women in managing their family affairs. Some of the classical Chinese versions also have comments added by a transcriber of the text, which reveal where different stories in Samgwangi came from. The Samgwangi versions in Middle Korean do not consider seriously the general structure of the three parts used in the classical Chinese versions. Some stories in the classical Chinese version are omitted in the Middle Korean versions in which instead new stories are added such as bibliographical sketches on famous scholar-officials in the early Joseon Korea. In addition, some Korean versions include either a epitaph of the Mandongmyo shrine or a memorial letter sent to the throne by a widow from a Noron family. The newly added sections for Korean versions reflect a common object of sharing the Noron values.
