『불정심다라니경언해』 연구

Abstract

This paper purposes that finding out characteristics and value of the <BuljeongsimdaranigyeongEonhae>(佛頂心陀羅尼經諺解), which is a Bulgyeong- Eonhae that was published in the age of Chosun's King Seongjong, as a material of the history of Korean language. Through this argument, I examined this book's bibliography form, the present states of each woodblock-printed book, character and contents of this sutra, and linguistic characteristics. This book is a Bulkyueong-Eonhae-Book that was published by the Hakjo(學祖) who was a famous Buddhist priest of the age. This book consists of three volumes. I believe that I clarified the process and structure of translating the sutra into the Korean. This book does not have Gugyeol-sentence. Without Gugyeol-sentence, this book places Byeonsangdo(變相圖) and the original on the front part, and it places Eonhae-sentence(諺解文) on the behind part. Also, the front parts with the original and Byeonsangdo(變相圖) are woodblock, while the behind parts with Eonhae-sentences are a printing type, which is called Eulhae-letters(乙亥字). The reason why the front parts consist of woodblocks is that each page has Byeonsangdo(變相圖) in the top portion. The translation of this book is not out of word-for-word translation and literal translation because this book is the translated text that is premised on Gugyul-sentence. The most terminating forms of sentences in this book are declarative sentences of conjecture. As the linguistic characteristics, this book and <YeongheomyakchoEonhae>, which was published in the same year of the <BuljeongsimdaranigyeongEonhae>(佛頂心陀羅尼經諺解), shows orthography as same as that of the latter half of 15th century. I studied this book’s value of data of the history of Korean language by comparing with other Bulkyeong-Eonhae(佛經諺解) and by searching the linguistic characteristics, the way of organizing sentences, and orthography. This document is a book that shows one part of the Korean Buddhist culture in the Chosun age and is one of valuable data of the history of Korean language in the middle age. I believe that my argument shows the general characters of the <BuljeongsimdaranigyeongEonhae>(佛頂心陀羅尼經諺解) and value as a data of the history of Korean language.
