ZHU, Xi 朱熹, author, & CHŎNGJO 正祖, King of Korea, editorBiblio.com

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

Best.-Nr. 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

Hyangnye happ’yÅn é„‰ç¦®åˆç·¨ Collected Community Rituals

1797Best.-Nr. 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. Red leaf-shaped seals on the first leaf of both volumes read 逸民山水 . â§ Asami Library 4.14.
