Abstract

Nakamura Shojiro donated 27books to Ogura Sinpei, which contains 2books ofCatholic related materials. This article focused on the background of transcribingSeonggyo and compared this text with other prayer books. For this comparison, theauthor consulted The bibliography about Korea by Maurice Courant and The reportof Thesis and Books about Korean Catholic by Kim Ok-hee. However, there wereno prayer book that was same to Nakamura Shojiro's Seonggyo. So the key conditionto find the original Seonggyo was ①written in Korean ②contains the main 12prayersof Catholic ③can be read in Korea's library ④satisfies all three conditions aboveand written most early. As a result, Yonsei University Library had 2 materials,Tyeonjyu-syeonggyo-gonggwa which was written in 1887 and Tyeonjyu-syeonggyo-sibidan which was written in 1896. By comparing Seonggyo and Tyeonjyu-syeonggyo-gonggwa and Tyeonjyusyeonggyo-sibidan, there were similarity and also difference in the form, content andwriting. First of all, in the form, the list and number of prayer were similar butthe order of prayer were different. Next, in the content, the prayer were almost alike. However there were some omission in two prayers in Seonggyo compared to theother prayer books. Finally, in the writing, all three prayer books used Korean inthe body of the book, but Seonggyo used Chinese Characters in the title of theprayers, and wrote Chinese Characters on the upper side of Korean vocabulary. Alsothere were difference in the writing of postpositional particle, adverb and the namingof saint, which shows the different writing of the same vocabulary. The researchrefers to the possibility that Nakamura Shojiro transcribing Seonggyo with some kindof re-edition version of the original Tyeonjyu-syeonggyo-gonggwa, which started tobe translated in Korean by Imbert(bishop) in 1837. As Seonggyo has no same prayerbook, it can be told to have specialty so far. The ultimate goal of the research isto prove the religious history of Catholic in Late Chosun Dinasty and Tsusima areaon the basis of this research.
