국립한글박물관 소장본 『션비졍부인박시유ㅅ·』의 자료적 고찰

Abstract

This paper aims to show the value of Seonbijeongbuinbaksiyusa(션비졍부인박시유ㅅ·), a new Hangeul manuscript of the collection in National Hangeul Museum. To do this, I analyzed this document in aspects of bibliography, construction and linguistic features. Seonbijeongbuinbaksiyusa comes under a category of Seonbi-Haengjang(先妣行狀), records of a deceased mother’s life. This document is a Hangeul version of the original classical Chinese version which was written in 1800. The women’s Haengjang(行狀) is very important source to see women’s personal lives in traditional society. Even though it tends to characterize an ideal woman with female virtues(婦德), you can also find individual features and information of women's lives through comparing and analyzing these records. Seonbijeongbuinbaksiyusa has special value because it shows not only typical expressions of female virtues, but also precise and concrete description of various individual anecdotes to characterize personality with independence. On aspect of diachronic study of Korean, this document shows linguistic features of late Modern Korean, but it should be cautious to use this as a linguistic source because this manuscript is not an original Hangeul version.
