小說 『三國志』의 한글 번역본에 대한 고찰― 樂善齋本 『삼국지통쇽연의』를 중심으로

Abstract

The edition based on the translation of the novel 『The Romance of Three Kingdoms』 can be divided into 240 Chik(則, interpretation rules) series and 120 editions(回) version series. It was divided into the era of the Yanyi series (演義系列) of Luo Guanzhong(羅貫中)’s 240 Chik(則) and Zhizhuan series (志傳系列), and then through the era of the Li Zhuowu Criticism version (李卓吾批评本) of 120 editions(回), it was incorporated into the era of Mao Zonggang(毛宗岗)'s 『The Romance of Three Kingdoms』. Mao Zonggang(毛宗岗) has greatly enhanced the dignity of the novel 『The Romance of Three Kingdoms』 by refining the composition of the chapter titles, style, and inserted poems, while maintaining the story of the 120 editions(回). In the process of these changes, numerous editions emerged, and various editions were introduced into the country, and the original edition was engraved or reversely engraved and spread widely through processes such as transcription, old type. In this paper, it has been confirmed that among the full translations of the novel 『The Romance of Three Kingdoms』 in existence, there are some editions with clear sources, but many editions with unclear sources. Among the translations of the 240 Chik (則, interpretation rules) series, Naksunjae edition 『Three Kingdoms TongsuYanyi』 39 editions, which is noted in this paper, was not clearly sourced through example sentences through comparison with various versions, suggesting the possibility of translation based on another version that does not exist now. It was confirmed that Gyujanggak edition 『Three Kingdoms TongsuYanyi』 27 editions were translated based on Naksunjae edition 39 editions. Gyujanggak edition 『The Romance of Three Kingdoms』 30 editions is almost similar to Naksunjae version 39 editions, but it could not be considered completely the same as the first two chapters of book 1 outlined the history of the Han Dynasty. However, except for this part, most of them coincide with Naksunjae version 39 editions, so it is presumed to be a translation derived from Naksunjae version 39 editions. Korea University version 『The Romance of Three Kingdoms』 33 editions are partially inconsistent with the chapter titles and contents, but since it seems unlikely that they were translated based on a previously non-existent version after the 1800s, it is estimated that Korea University version 33 editions were also derived from the subclass of Naksunjae version 39 editions. As a result of comparing the contents of Korea University version 『The Romance of Three Kingdoms』 33 editions with the various versions that were assumed to have flowed into Korea, the inconsistency was confirmed, and the possibility of translation based on another version that does not currently exist was suggested. It was confirmed that most of the translations of the 120 editions version(回本) series were translated based on the Mao Zonggang version(毛宗崗本), and as a result of examining National Library of Korea version 『The Romance of Three Kingdoms』 17 editions, which are considered representative, the abbreviation phenomenon occurs severely as it goes to the latter half. However, it was confirmed that the translation was based on the Mao Zonggang version(毛宗崗本) considering the chapter titles and contents. As a result of the discussions so far, the source of the Naksunjae version 『Three Kingdoms TongsuYanyi』 39 editions, Korea University version 『The Romance of Three Kingdoms』 33 editions Korea University version 『The Romance of Three Kingdoms』 38 editions belonging to 240 Chik(則, interpretation rules) series is not clear, and it is highly likely that the translation was based on another edition that does not currently exist. It is expected to require additional work, and intended to proceed in the future.
