Description
These woodblocks were used to print the original edition of Toegye seonsaeng munjip (Collected Writings of Toegye) in 1600. The writings of the great Neo-Confucian thinker Toegye (a.k.a. Yi Hwang, 1501-1570) collected in this book consist of 57 parts in 31 volumes, including the list of the main texts (2 parts in 2 volumes), the main texts themselves (49 parts in 25 volumes), additional writings (1 part in 1 volume), an outer collection (1 part in 1 volume), and a chronology (4 parts in 2 volumes). The exact number of woodblocks used to print the book remains unknown because no complete set of the original edition has survived to the present. Toegye's Collected Writings is generally regarded as a valuable source of information that sheds light on his philosophy and literary and academic, as well as the form of Neo-Confucianism developed in Korea (then Joseon) under his leadership.
