This two-volume collection is composed of rubbings of Korean master calligraphers’ stone inscriptions made by Sin Gong-je (1469-1536), a government official who served during the reign of King Jungjong of Joseon. The first volume starts with the calligraphic works by King Munjong and King Seongjong, followed by three calligraphers of Silla (Choe Chi-won, Kim Saeng, and Yeong Eop) and three masters of Goryeo (Tan Yeon, Yi Am, and Sin Deok-rin). The second volume features works by twelve calligraphers including Yi Gang, monk Hyegeun, Seong Seok-rin, Bak Cho, Gwon Geun, Yi Cheom, Jeong Do-jeon, Jeong Chong, Min Ja-bok, and Sin Saek. Despite being a collection of rubbings, this book is an important document for the research on ancient calligraphic styles. Another thing that makes it meaningful is that it includes numerous texts that do not appear in epitaphs.
