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.

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. ⧠WorldCat accession number 874756267. References Kuhn Dieter.

réf. 7461Two parts in one vol. Small folio orig. wrappers somewhat tired & a little soiled some light staining & soiling here & there manuscript title on upper cover later stitching. Hansong Seoul: Kyujanggak the Royal Library Preface dated 1793 & 1796. First edition of this handsome and large-format 323 x 217 mm. royal publication. King Chongjo 1752-1800 was one of the most intellectual and enlightened of the Korean monarchs. Perhaps Korea’s greatest bibliophile as royal patron he supported all aspects of the book: typographers printers authors librarians and lexicographers. A number of “royal” editions were published under his auspices. He founded the Kyujanggak Library in 1776 now part of the library of the Seoul National University. “The official rhyming dictionary of Chinese characters compiled under the supervision of King Chongjo and engraved in 1796. The arrangement is different from the usual Korean system in that instead of three rows of characters in the same rhyme there are four rows with the ipsÅng characters distributed in the bottom row” Fang The Asami Library 12.3. The main compiler of this work was the reformer Tong-mu Yi 1741-93 who had travelled to China and was an important member of the Northern Learning School. This group of intellectuals recognized the practical benefits of commerce and technology and urged the modernization of Korean society. Yi was appointed by King ChÅngjo as one of the famed four editors of the Royal Library overseeing the publication of books. A very nice copy. References Fang Chaoying.
