Description
Jewang ungi (Song of Emperors and Kings) is a historical epic comprising two volumes about Korean and Chinese history written by Yi Seung-hyu and published in 1287 (the 13th year of the reign of King Chungnyeol of the Goryeo Dynasty) and edited twice thereafter, once in 1360 (the 9th year of the reign of King Gongmin) and again in 1413 (the 13th year of the reign of King Taejong). The book, which measures 18 cm in width and 29 cm in length, was engraved with eight lines each for 16 letters. Its exact date of publication is unclear, but given that it has the same printing style as a book kept at Dongguk University in Seoul, it is probably the edition that was printed from woodblock type located in Gyeongju in 1360 (the 9th year of the reign of King Gongmin).
