ABSTRACT

Chc'Sng PyCSnguk for a copy of this catalogue, with his correction of some of the entries and his notes on what was and was not shown. About three hundred items are listed for exhibition, one hundred and seventy of which are classified as sosoi.. Eighteen of the sosol texts which are described as being in hanmun are of stories which I have not found in old Korean. Of the remaining sosol texts, forty five were not actually shown, including all twenty eight noted as belonging to ~i'fllj;!f Cho Yunje, the authority on Korean literature who has described his feelings on beiilg forced to sell his books in Hy(Sndae Munbak, 99-105,March-September 1963.
