ref. 913569; 84; 102 folding leaves. 30 parts in three vols. Large 8vo 306 x 202 mm. orig. patterned yellow-brown wrappers new stitching. Korea: final volume with date 1903. A rare metal movable type edition printed at the Ministry of Justice in Seoul in 1903 using a font cut in 1816. The text was originally compiled in ChosÅn Korea on royal command in ca. 1440. The earliest edition that can be confidently dated was printed by woodblocks in KyÅngju in 1536. The text explains the descriptions of crimes and punishments contained in the Great Ming Code which was the penal code of the Chinese Ming empire 1368-1644. This book in the form in which we now have it is the result of a series of revisions in the late 14th century. It represents an important moment in Chinese legal history as a kind of legal Renaissance in that it was deliberately modeled on the centuries-old Tang code whereas the preceding Mongol Yuan empire had not had an official Chinese legal code. The Ming legal code was very influential in East Asia. In Korea the Ming code’s influence can be discerned already in the second half of the 15th century when we see references in the penal section in the official collection of statutes specifying that certain matters should be handled according to the Ming code. Even in the last Korean code issued before the advent of Japanese rule dated 1905 the influence of the Ming code is still discernable. Our edition of the book belongs to the uncertain period in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the Korean leadership tried to navigate between the surrounding empires and establish the country as an independent state. The laws of Ming China which had collapsed more than two and a half centuries earlier were still being studied by prospective officials in the Korean judiciary on the eve of the Russo-Japanese War which made Korea a Japanese protectorate. Our edition was printed with metal movable type using the chÅnsaja å…¨å²å— set. This copper font of approximately 20000 characters was cast privately in 1816 by Pak ChonggyÅng 朴宗慶. Fine and handsome set. A seal states that this set belonged to the collection of the Institute for the Training of Officials for the Judiciary PÅpkwan YangsÅngso æ³•å®˜é¤Šæˆæ‰€ in Seoul founded in 1895 as part of an attempt to modernize the civil service. It was intended as a textbook for the institute’s students.

A brilliant example in rich original hand color of the rare and only English language edition of the earliest printed folio-size western map specifically of China and "the first to show the Great Wall"Nebenzahl. "This map remained the standard type for the interior of China for over sixty years" Tooley. Although 2 pocket-sized English language editions of an abbreviated version of Ortelius' Theatrum entitled Epitome were published previously in 1601 and 1603 with brief texts in English the English text in the present edition runs to 2 large folio pages printed on the back of the map giving an extensive description of China drawn from recent publications of observations by European travelers to the area particularly Jesuits. With its three lushly designed cartouches and many illustrations of indigenous shelters modes of transportation i.e. the famous wind wagons and animals this is one of Ortelius's richest engravings and among his rarest.
