『阿彌陀經諺解』의 비교 연구(Ⅱ)– 刊經都監本과 大芚寺本을 중심으로 –

Abstract

This paper of comparative study deals with 『Amitagyeongeonhae』 which is a Bulgyeongeonhae(佛經諺解) book published by Gangyeongdogam(刊經都監) in 10th year of Chosun King Sejo(1464 A.D.) and Daedunsabon(大芚寺本, published in early 17th century) which is a meta-edition of 『Amitagyeongeonhae』. Amitagyeong had translated and published several times during Chosun age because of it's religious value. 'Eonhae' means a translated book Chinese into Korean, so 'Bulgyeongeonhae' is translated Bulgyeong into Korean. The Daedunsabon 『Amitagyeongeonhae』, the object of our study, is one of those Bulgyeongeonhae books. This book was taken out of Korea by Japan and redeemed recently. For this reason, the whole contents of the book have not opened to Korean academia yet. However, we can know that the book was published in early 17th century at Jeollado Haenam Daedunsa through looking around this book's bibliography and system of Eonhae. In the publication record, the last page of this book, there is only place information of publication while there is not publication year. This Daeunsabon was published about 2 centuries later than the first edition of Gangyeongdogambon. Because of this, system of Eonhae and translation languages are very different from Gangyeongdogambon. We focused on this point, and we compared and considered bibliographies, system of Eonhae, and languages between Gangyeongdogambon and Daedunsabon. As a result of our works, we could find out that this book shows changes of 17th century's Korean language very well. Daedunsabon shows linguistic characteristics of Korean in the first half of 17th century, such as orthography, phonemic phenomena, and changes of linguistic forms. Based on these results, we could estimate that the publishing age of this book is a first half of 17th century. Through this study, we found out the value of Daedunsabon which was published 2 centuries later than Gangyeongdogambon as a material of Korean linguistic history. In addition to this, we could know the transitions of Korean in the age of 17th century.
