윤상기

Abstract

This study is to examine the several basic wooden movable types molded in after the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. The description begins with summarizing each basic history of movable types. The parts that have not been clearly defined are relatively dealt with in detail. Subsequently the existing movable types are examined as many as possible and arranged one by one. And through analyzing the elements used in these movable type names, it is examined which elements were preferred by the existing movable type names. This preference could be helpful for naming the newly found types or renaming the existing types. Next each standard name of movable types has been selected in total 10 movable types with applying writer's own selection standard. Those are as follows: 'Moongyepak mokwhalja(文繼朴木活字)', 'Naju mokwhalja(羅州木活字)', 'Chunki kyosoekwan pilseocheja(前期校書館筆書體字)', Injosillokja(仁祖實錄字)', 'Hyojongsilokja(孝宗實錄字)', 'Huki kyosoekwan pilseocheja(後期校書館業書體字)', 'Koansanggam seomyeong daeja(觀象監書名大字)', 'Kyeongsejeongeumja(經書正音字)', 'Panghongmujeongwon daeja(倣洪武正韻大字)', 'Seomgaemuninlok daeja(剡溪門人錄大宇)'.
