조선시대 科擧 榜目의 편찬과 간행

Abstract

This paper examines the publisher, contents, and the publication process of bangmok of civil and military examination and samabangmok, while questioning their nature as official publications of the state. To conclude, bangmok of civil and military examination and samabangmok were unofficial publications published since late 15th century by successful candidates at their own expense to celebrate their success. According to their situations, some were published at Gyoseogwan(Printing Bureau) in a printed book and some at a local area in a wood-block printing. Those in poor conditions could not get it published. While samabangmok was published whenever there was an examination, bangmok of civil and military examination was done rarely. The name of the Printing Bureau, provincial governor's office, and counties and prefectures recorded inside the publication only meant the place where it was printed. Generally, bangmok of civil and military examination and samabangmok were published based on the state’s administrative documents, but they also added personal information of the passers, reflecting their nature as a commemorative material. The contents have become diverse by adding more information such as the process of the examination. With the emergence of professional agents who were in charge of publishing the bangmok, the structure also developed to become more organized. Bangmok of civil and military examination and samabangmok are crucial materials for discussing the development of private publication during late Joseon society.
