Abstract

The ‘Mu-Gyeomok-Danja(無啓目單子)’ is kind of document which was used to report to the king. It was used widely in the Joseon Dynasty period, but it has not been known to the academic world yet. This paper shows the format of this kind of document. Its name and prescribed format was only discoverd from Jonyool-Tongbo(典律通補). Moreover, it was explained with the ‘Gyeomok(啓目)’ which is an another kind of document which reports to the king. The meaning of ‘Mu-Gyeomok-Danja(無啓目單子)’ is ‘There is not 啓目’. From here the 啓目is not the name of the document. This is the word which should be written in the beginning when the document is prepared. The ‘Gyeomok(啓目)’ has this word, the ‘Mu-Gyeomok-Danja(無啓目單子)’ is not like that. Integral part of Mu-Gyeomok-Danja(無啓目單子) is composed of three kinds, such as name of issuing agency, the contents which want to deliver, and finishing word. This form is very simple. Also, It is not necessary to arrange official seal, the prepared date and signature of supervisor. Since the format is very simple, drwaing up is easy. Thus, it can be limited to the work which is not important. The response of the reported issue will be written on the right blank side of the document. That reply is called a panboo(判付). This is also a feature which can distinguish the type of document. The panboo(判付) of Mu-Gyeomok-Danja(無啓目單子) is composed with ① Gyeoja-In(啓字印), ② the report date to the king, and ③ instructions. Mu-Gyeomok-Danja(無啓目單子) was copied to the various documentary literature such as The Daily Records of Royal Secretariant of Joseon Dynasty(承政院日記). In this literatures, Mu-Gyeomok-Danja(無啓目單子) is often called a 'Danja(單子)'
