Description
This set of two documents at Songgwangsa, dating from the Goryeo Period, contains important records related to this Buddhist temple. The two items together designated as a Treasure are one document recording the history of the temple and one nobi (slave) register listing the number and names of slaves belonging to the temple. Documents that are hand-written in ink like these, surviving from the Goryeo Period, are exceedingly rare. These two documents have been also extremely well preserved. The two items are of an inestimable value for understanding document and writing styles used in this period of time.
