The Samboeng Selected Works represents the collected writings of Jeong Dojeon (1342-1398), eminent scholar-official of the late Goryeo and early Joseon periods. Jeong Dojeon's collected works were initially published in 1397 as the Samboeng Collection with a preface by Kwon Geun, compiled from poetry manuscripts Jeong maintained. However, this edition's woodblocks were dispersed following Jeong Dojeon's execution during the Prince's Rebellion. Subsequently, in 1465 when Jeong Munhyeong, Jeong Dojeon's great-grandson, served as provincial inspector of Gyeongsang province, he collated surviving copies of the initial edition and prepared an expanded edition published in Andong under the title Samboeng Selected Works in seven volumes. Later, in 1487 during Jeong Munhyeong's tenure as provincial inspector of Gangwon province, a third edition bearing the title Samboeng Collection appeared in Gangneung, comprising eight volumes. The National Central Library's Samboeng Selected Works corresponds to volume 7 of the second edition, containing philosophical discussions including 'Buddhist Doctrinal Criticism and 'Mind-Pneuma-Principle Discourse,' along with Jeong Jin's initial edition preface, Jeong Munhyeong's second edition preface, and woodblock carver attribution records. These publication-related records appearing exclusively in the present copy constitute crucial materials for comprehending the publication and transmission history of Samboeng Selected Works and possess substantial documentary value. Furthermore, as one of the relatively scarce personal literary collections from early Joseon, the present copy, permitting comparative examination with other extant editions, combined with the historical prominence of founder Jeong Dojeon as principal official of the Joseon establishment, collectively demonstrate significant scholarly value.
