Notes

• Confucian school text.
• Materials studied by young students in Confucian schools immediately after they had finished the Thousand Character Classic, a primer of reading and writing classical Chinese.
• Annotated and adapted version of "Tongmun sonsup" originally written by Pak, Se-mu.
• During the reign of King Chungjong (r. 1506-1544), a man named Pak Se-mu wrote a primer entitled "Tongmong sonsup." "Tongmong sonsup" is identical to "Tongmun sonsup" in this record in many parts, but "Tongmun sonsup" has been annotated and modifeid by possibly the "O Se-ch'ang" who is claimed as the author (note the type for the character for "author," which has been misprinted as "bureau") on the cover. There was a famous O Se-chang at the turn of the century and later who worked for indenpendence from Japan. He is not known to have produced a book such as this one; in any case, he would most certainly have studied the "Tongmong sonsup" himself and therefore could not cenceivably have claimed authorship of this text. The "Tongmong sonsup" is still in print today, in modern annotated versions, but I have never seen this "Tongmun sonsup" annotated versions, but I have never seen this "Tongmun sonsup" version in a modern edition. In spite of these peculiarities, the book seems clearly to date from the early 20th century, and the woodblocks used to print it seem even older, judging from the typeface.
