Munmyo hyangsarok 文廟享祀錄 Record of the Sacrifices at the Confucian Temple

réf. 9430Four leaves of illus. 30 folding leaves. Large 8vo 305 x 208 mm. orig. yellow semi-stiff wrappers upper wrappers somewhat soiled both wrappers with some worming new stitching. Korea: 1765. First edition of this book published on royal command by King YÅngjo of ChosÅn. The book was compiled by Kim Kwi-ju 金龜柱 1740-86 the older brother of Queen Consort ChÅngsun 1745-1805. The royal Preface is furthermore written in Kim’s standard script calligraphy. Years after the compilation of this book factional intrigue under YÅngjo’s successor ChÅngjo led to Kim being exiled after which he soon died. Our book outlines sacrifices at the Confucian temple in Seoul including the KyesÅng å•“è–ç¥ and SongjÅl 崇節祠 shrines. The KyesÅng shrine built in 1669 was the site of sacrifices to the fathers of several Confucian sages including Confucius and Mencius. At the temple as a whole a number of Chinese and Korean Confucian sages and worthies were worshipped. The book contains illustrations outlining the layout of the shrines with the placement of the tablets for the various Confucian scholars marked with their names. The royal Preface is dated 1765. Ordering the compilation of a record of past exemplars apparently made the king reflect on his own character and actions. He wrote “when I with my shallow learning recite the writings of the sages and worthies but remain unable to learn the Way of the sages and worthies and when I admire the deeds of the sages and worthies but cannot act in their manner it is like knowing what something tastes like but not get to eat it or like knowing the road but being unable to follow it. Even though I might laugh at people of the past why would people of the future not laugh at me too” Minor worming mostly marginal towards end. See WorldCat 855527023 for a digital copy. unknown

Ŏje hunsÅ or Oeje hunseo 御製訓書 Royally Commissioned Exhortations

réf. 942941 folding leaves. Large 8vo 337 x 206 mm. orig. semi-stiff wrappers new stitching. Korea: Simdo æ²éƒ½ 1756. First edition and rare; WorldCat lists only one printed copy at Berkeley. This book of exhortations on good government with striking royal calligraphy was written by King YÅngjo or Yeongjo of ChosÅn 1694-1776 in 1756. At this time YÅngjo was commemorating the death of his father the previous king. According to Fang Chaoying 1908-85 YÅngjo then in his 65th year “could not foresee that he was to live twenty more years and so it appears that he was trying to justify himself in his own mind with regard to posterity as well as to the ancestors whom he expected to face any day” The Asami Library 115. YÅngjo offered three main principles for a king to follow: “to venerate Heaven to love the people and to treat the officials with respect” ibid. Large standard script characters written by the king himself are reproduced in the beginning of the book. The king’s brush records Confucian assertions such as “the following of human nature is called the Way / the cultivation of the Way is called instruction.” Accepting the Mencian dictum that human nature is inherently good the king continues: “I possess the good human nature / to realize the bright mandate of Heaven.” The main text of the book is reproduced in the handwriting of the important scholar-official SÅ MyÅng-ŭng or Seo Myeong-eung å¾å‘½è†º 1716-87. SÅ wrote in many genres and had a cosmopolitan outlook. For example he wrote a Preface to one of the major multilingual lexicographical works produced in ChosÅn in the 18th century see Söderblom Saarela “Mandarin over Manchu” 379-80. Very fine and fresh copy beautifully printed. References Fang Chaoying. The Asami Library: A Descriptive Catalog. Edited by Elizabeth Huff. Berkeley: University of California Press 1969.

1797réf. 111991797. Woodblock-printed. 4 1 16 39; 40 33 2 folding leaves. Three kwÅn in two volumes. Small folio 341 x 216 mm. orig. semi-stiff patterned wrappers handwritten title on upper covers old stitching. HansÅng: Chujaso Preface dated 1797. Very rare Korean collection of community rituals K. hyangnye 鄉禮 compiled by and printed for the King of Korea. We find no copy in Korea and only three copies in WorldCat Berkeley Columbia and Harvard. The reign of King ChÅngjo of Korea r. 1776-1800 witnessed a shift in the sovereign’s role in relation to Confucian teachings. “ChÅngjo sought to formulate the sage-king as an active ruler who instructed his ministers rather than received instruction from them was directly involved in the administration of the state and exercised discretion when and how he in his sagely wisdom deemed fit.”â€“Christopher Lovins King ChÅngjo SUNY: 2019 p. 29. As the guardian and propagator of Confucian learning he oversaw various editorial and printing projects carried out by the royal publishing house the Chujaso 鑄字所. The compilation and publication of the Collected Community Rituals reflected King ChÅngjo’s belief that a king’s ritual transformation of his people must begin at the local level. The Collected Community Rituals opens with the royal edict dated 1797 followed by a list of community ritual records compiled throughout Chinese and Korean history. The bulk of the work is devoted to the rituals of the banquet and archery competitions followed by coming-of-age K. kwanrye 冠禮 and marriage rituals. Detailed interlinear commentaries were compiled by scholars of the Kyujanggak 奎章閣 the Royal Library of the Korean court under the leadership of Yi PyÅng-mo 1742-1806. Their names are listed at the end of volume two. The original printing used the chÅngyuja ä¸é…‰å— kabinja style of movable metal type of 1777 and copies were distributed to localities throughout Korea. They were also sent to regional governmental printing houses where they were cannibalized to produce woodblocks for further printing. Nice set preserved in a jil. Our copy also has prayers for ancestral mountain and land deities as well as instructions for offering rites all handwritten in black ink on the endpapers.

ŎjÅng ChusÅ paeksÅn or Eojeong Juseo baekseon å¾¡å®šæœ±æ›¸ç™¾é¸ Royally Authorized Selection of One Hundred Letters by Zhu Xi

réf. 889392.5; 95 folding leaves. Two vols. Small folio orig. yellow-brown patterned wrappers some soiling to wrappers old stitching. ChÅnju today’s Jeonju: 1795 or possibly later. A selection of 100 letters written by Zhu Xi 1130-1200 the great synthesizer of the philosophical school known as Neo-Confucianism. Zhu Xi who lived in southeastern coastal China far from the center of power became extremely influential in East Asia for centuries following his death. His interpretation of Neo-Confucianism a metaphysically argued philosophy of the self the family and the state became official orthodoxy in late imperial China and ChosÅn Korea promulgated largely through the civil service examination system. However there were challenges to its primacy from intellectuals especially from the 18th century onward. “In the opinion of many historians the Song’s preeminent philosopher Zhu Xi outshined Confucius himself. He was the only person in Chinese history apart from Confucius and Mencius whom the official hagiography addressed as Master” Kuhn The Age of Confucian Rule 103. Given Zhu Xi’s standing in Korea several collections of excerpts from his works were published beginning in the 16th century. On account of its authorship Royally Authorized Selection of One Hundred Letters by Zhu Xi became one of the most widely circulated such collections for the last century of the ChosÅn period. According to the court chronicle the culturally ambitious King ChÅngjo 1752-1800 himself made the selection on the basis of Zhu Xi’s collected works a voluminous oeuvre that numbered 2354 pieces of writing in one scholar’s recent count. Text-critical notes e.g. on place names personal names official titles and expressions that might be unfamiliar to Korean readers were then added by four high civil officials which were printed in the upper margin of the text. The book was finished on the 25th day of the 12th month of the 18th year of ChÅngjo’s reign Qianlong 59 which corresponds to 15 January 1795. While most of the 18th year corresponds to 1794 it is incorrect to date the book to that year. The book was first printed in Seoul with metal movable type — the so-called chÅng’yu cha ä¸é…‰å— set of type cast in 1777 the chÅng’yu year when ChÅngjo ascended the throne. Further editions were subsequently published at several provincial offices using woodblocks intended for wide dissemination among the educated elite. Our copy belongs to one of these provincial woodblock editions. The title-page says ŭlmyo wanyÅng kan’in ä¹™å¯å®Œç‡ŸåˆŠå° meaning that it was printed in 1795 the ŭlmyo year in the provincial government offices at ChÅnju Jeonju in what is now southern South Korea. However it is possible that the actual copy was struck later than that date as the blocks remained on the site. They were moved to the local official Confucian school in 1899 where they remain today. Fine set of a very rare book. Minor staining and soiling at beginning and end of each volume. â§ WorldCat accession number 874756267. References Kuhn Dieter.

ŎjÅng chusÅ paeksÅn å¾¡å®šæœ±æ›¸ç™¾é¸ Royal Edition of a Hundred Selected Letters of Zhu

réf. 11191. 1 p.l. 4 25 34 29; 37 30 28 folding leaves. Six kwÅn in two volumes. Small folio 360 x 223 mm. orig. wrappers some wear & rubbing handwritten title on covers orig. stitching. HansÅng: Kyujanggak ca. 1799. A royal gift presented by the king of Korea. In 1794 King ChÅngjo 1752-1800 of the ChÅson dynasty compiled and had printed a collection of the letters of the great Neo-Confucian philosopher Zhu Xi 朱熹 1130-1200 to be disseminated throughout his kingdom. As King ChÅngjo wrote on this occasion “the learning of Master Zhu in its expansive and oceanic plentitude is best represented by his collected writings; the writings of Master Zhu in their utmost subtlety and precision are best represented by his personal correspondences” “ChusÅ paeksÅn yukkwÅn” æœ±æ›¸ç™¾é¸å…å· in Hongjae chÅnsÅ 弘齋全書 Collected Writings of King ChÅngjo kwÅn 180. Drawing from a number of established collections he selected 100 letters and carefully arranged them “beginning with the letter to Yanping 延平 i.e. Li Tong æŽä¾— 1093-1163 Zhu Xi’s teacher to pronounce his lineage of instruction and ending with the letter to Zhiqing ç›´å¿ i.e. Huang Gan 黃干 1152-1221 Zhu Xi’s disciple to demonstrate the bestowment of teachings.” That 1794 edition with moderate marginal annotations on “personal and place names as well as philological glosses and references” was sent to be printed with the chÅngyuja ä¸é…‰å— metal type cast in the year 1777. Printed copies were sent to various official printing houses throughout the kingdom and used as models to carve woodblocks for a xylographic edition ibid. Sometime around 1799 realizing that in the capital only metal type copies of the book remained the king ordered woodblocks to be made locally as well for the work so that more copies could be printed and distributed ChÅngjo “Sinin ogyÅngâ€¦” æ–°å°äº”ç¶“â€¦ in Hongjae chÅnsÅ kwÅn 36. Most woodblock re-editions of this work retain the original title-page which contains not only the title Royal Edition of a Hundred Selected Letters of Zhu K. ŎjÅng chusÅ paeksÅn å¾¡å®šæœ±æ›¸ç™¾é¸ but also the inscription in seal script that reads ç”²å¯…å…§é–£æ´»å° — “palace edition printed with movable type in the kabin year 1794.” This title-page compounded with the absence of any additional paratextual information likely resulted in the description of these woodblock re-editions as the original metal type 1794 edition in spite of lacking the features of metal typography. We have carefully examined our copy and found that it was likely printed with the woodblocks carved around 1799 undoubtedly through the cannibalization of a typographic copy and kept within the royal library. Certain qualities of our copy make it distinctive: not only are the cursive characters rendered with impressive clarity the marginal annotations mentioned in King ChÅngjo’s edict are also preserved in faux-manuscript style — a feature absent in some other copies we have consulted erroneously described as the 1794 edition. The best evidence that our copy was printed by the royal library K. kyujanggak 奎章閣 of course is the fact that it was a royal gift K. naesabon 內賜本 presented by the king himself to notable officials or individuals in this case an examinee from SuwÅnbu 水原府. The “Record of Presentation” K. naesagi 內賜記 is handwritten on the front endpaper of the first volume as usual and is dated to the second month of Xianfeng 5 1855. However both the name of the recipient and the official responsible for the Record have been obscured. A name Im Hŭi-ji 林熙之 is written next to the name of the recipient but in a clearly different hand and ink. Records of the Royal Secretariat K. SŭngjÅngwÅn ilgi 承政院日記 states that on the 29th day of this month copies of the Hundred Selected Letters were indeed bestowed to six examinees but all their names are not given. On the first leaf of the table of contents and facing the title-page is the Seal of Presentation K. naesa’in å…§è³œå° which reads å¥Žç« ä¹‹å® Treasure of the Kyujanggak. This seal was used for presentation copies roughly between 1782 and 1894 as shown by Lee & Song in “A Study on Naesabon Preserved in Kyujanggak” in Journal of Korean Library and Information Science Society 43 no. 2. This book is rare outside of East Asia. We find three copies under WorldCat 35891835 with a misspelled title and described as the 1794 edition on account of the aforementioned title-page which our copy also possesses. None of them is described as a presentation copy. Very good set. Some occasional soiling and dampstaining. Unimportant worming mostly marginal. â§ King ChÅngjo Hongjae chÅnsÅ 弘齋全書 in Han’guk munjip ch’onggan éŸ“åœ‹æ–‡é›†å¢åˆŠ digital access via krpia.co.kr. unknown
