嘉藍 李秉岐 소장 도서목록 『書目』 연구

Abstract

The early national scholar Garam(嘉藍) Lee, Byong-gi(李秉岐) is a man who has laid the foundation of research on Korean studies by combining humanities, bibliographies, and literature. A total of 1,441 kinds of books are listed in the Seomok(書目)(1963), which is a collection of books in the book of Garam, which he collected for life and used as a study of classical literature, with the help of his disciples at the end of the year. Seomok is not only detailed about the types of books(manuscripts, woodblocks, and prints), but also contains publications, authors, and unique bibliographical information. In addition, unlike any book list system, it is subdivided into ‘precious book’, ‘rare book’, ‘general book’, ‘Chinese books’, ‘western style books’ and ‘previous magazines’. This shows that Garam's interests and the academic world are so wide and diverse. When we look at the period of publishing, many of the woodblocks published in late Goryeo and early Joseon are included in the precious and rare books, and the books after the imperial period are usually 'general books' and 'rubbish type books'. And books from the early twentieth century are distributed in the 'Chinese books of ancient times', 'western style books', and 'past magazines'. According to the editions, the printed books account for half of all the books in the collection. Among the books belonging to Garam, more than 7% of the total books and books of the People's Republic of China are overbooked. Garam was interested in the books published in China in the 20th century, and I think that such books had some influence on the formation of his intellectual foundation. There are many differences in the number of 1,441 species in the Seomok and the number of Garam's donated books(693 species in the library of Seoul National University). This is because the book list of the collections of Seoul National University except the early 20th century books was made. Therefore, in order to more accurately examine the reality of the book of Garam and the academic world of him, it is necessary to go through the Seomok. Seomok is a path to go to Garam's academic world, and it is also a crucial evidence to re-evaluate Garam as a scholar of national literature and bibliographer. In addition, it is meaningful that Seomok is a treasure house of Korean studies.
