Abstract

Goryeodogyeong is a book recognized for its value as a major historical source of research during the Goryeo dynasty. As such, it can be thought that people have widely read and used Goryeodogyeong since old times. However, the perception of Goryeodogyeong by intellectuals in the late Goryeo dynasty and early Joseon dynasty was very different from now. First of all, it is very rare to directly cite or mention the Goryeodokyeong. In most cases, it stays in re-authentication or simply mentions the name and author. This phenomenon means that even though the dynasty was replaced, the nature of the social culture shared by intellectuals did not change significantly.
 However, at the same time, there is a strange difference in the attitude toward Goryeodogyeong in the late Goryeo dynasty and the early Joseon dynasty. In the late Goryeo dynasty, Goryeodogyeong was mainly used to find forgotten facts or quote them in poetry. But, in the early Joseon dynasty, Goryeodogyeong was cited as a historical source to explain the history of the old dynasty and critically reviewed in the sentence. In the attitude toward the book called Goryeodogyeong, the continuity and disconnection of intellectual society in the late Goryeo dynasty and the early Joseon dynasty are shown at the same time.
 On the one hand, this fact suggests that Goryeodogyeong was not widely distributed through engraving or manuscript in the late Goryeo dynasty and early Joseon dynasty. According to the records, the existence of the Goryeo dynasty edition of the Goryeodogyeong, which is different from the current Goryeodogyeong, is confirmed. However, it was not known exactly until now whether there was a Goryeo version of Goryeodokyeong.
 If the Goryeo version of Goryeodogyeong existed, it is most likely that the engraving was published after correction based on the Song dynasty version introduced from Yuan in the mid-14th century. However, even if it existed, it seems to have disappeared soon after it was not widely distributed. This means that unlike after the 18th century, the demand for Goryeodogyeong was not high among intellectuals at that time.
