Sinjŭng Tongguk yŏji sŭngnam (Korean: 신증동국여지승람; Hanja: 新增東國輿地勝覽), or Revised Augmented Survey of the Geography of Korea, is a Korean geography book that was published by the Joseon dynasty in 1530.[1] It is a revision and enlargement of the Tongguk yŏji sŭngnam, or Augmented Survey of the Geography of Korea, which was published in 1481 and contains 50 volumes.[2] The only printed copy of the book can be found at Kyoto University.[1] However, printed volumes 37 and 38 of the Tongguk yŏji sŭngnam are in private ownership in South Korea.[2] The original wooden print is in Kyujanggak.[1]
History
[edit]The project was originally created in 1481[2] and imitated a Chinese pattern for geographies.[3] In 1530, five more books were added, making the series an expanded edition. Thus the word sinjŭng (新增) was added to indicate the expansion of content, with the total of 55 books.[1] The enlarged edition was compiled by Lee Haeng and Yun Eun-bo.[2]
The book was more of a guidebook for a separate map rather than actual cartography.[1] Each book started with the drawing of the overall view of the regions covered, and wrote about the history, customs, temples, mausoleums, palaces and administrative quarters and educational institutions thereafter.[4] The book contained prologues written by Confucian scholars of the times.[4]
Content
[edit]The regions that were covered are the same as below.
