This Sutra is also called “Wongakgyeong” for short. It was handwritten by Jong Mil, a Buddhist monk of the Tang Dynasty of China. Later, King Sejo added gugyeol (or to) in Korean between Chinese phrases and printed the scripture with a bronze typeset called “Eulyu-ja” in 1465 (11th year of King Sejo’s reign). The Eulyu-ja typeset was produced using calligraphy written by Jeong Nan-jong in 1465, the year of Eulyu. Since only the Korean annotated parts (gugyeol) were made into the Eulyu-ja typeset by using a Korean annotated version published by Gangyeongdogam (Directorate of Buddhist Publications) as the original copy, the Korean notes (gugyeol) are the same as those in the Korean annotation version of “Wongakgyeong Eonhae.” The Wongakgyeong, which was printed with the Eulyu-ja typeset, is very rare; its print condition is neat due to an early print copy, so this book is considered to have high value in studying the Korean language in the 15th century and bibliography.
