ShinjeungDonggukyeojiseungram is a Korean geography book that was published by the Joseon dynasty in 1530. [1] It is a revision and enlargement of the Donggukyeojiseungram, published in 1481 and containing 50 volumes1. [2] The only printed copy of the book can be found at Kyoto University. [1] However, printed volumes 37 and 38 of the Donggukyeojiseungram are in private ownership in South Korea. [2] The original wooden print is in Kyujanggak. [1]
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 shinjeung (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]
The regions that were covered are the same as below.
