Annals of the Yi Dynasty

Japanese: 李朝実録 - りちょうじつろく

A Korean history book. Currently known as the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty. It consists of 1,706 volumes. It chronologically describes the achievements of the successive kings of the Yi Dynasty (Joseon Dynasty) from Taejo to Cheoljong (1392-1863). It was compiled after the deaths of each king, and some of the works have been revised several times. Initially, it was only kept in the Chungju archives, but in 1439, archives were added to Jeonju and Seongju, and four hand-copied copies were made, along with the internal archives of the Chunjukan, and placed separately in each archive. Later, one clean copy and three type-printed copies were made and placed separately in the four archives. In 1592, the three archives were burned during the invasion of Hideyoshi's army (the Imjin War). After the war ended, four copies were restored in type based on the Jeonju archives that had survived the fire, and placed in the Nae-shi-ko and four outer archives (Manisan, later Jeongjoksan, Myohyangsan, later Seoksangsan, Taebaeksan, and Odaesan) newly built in strategic locations. After the reign of Hyojong, all five copies were printed in type. During the Japanese colonial period, all were collected in the center by order of the Government-General of Korea, and the Odaesan archives were kept at the Imperial University of Tokyo, but most of them were burned in the Great Kanto Earthquake. However, a copy was made in 1922 and sent by the Government-General of Korea to the Imperial Household (now the Imperial Household Agency), and is kept there, and Korea is demanding that it be returned. The remaining copies of the Odaesan archives at the University of Tokyo were recorded on microfilm in 2006, and the originals were donated to the Kyujanggak Museum of Seoul National University. The Jeongjoksan and Taebaeksan versions are in the possession of the Kyujanggak Library of Seoul National University, while the Seoksangsan History Library is in the possession of the Academician's Library of Korean Studies. A reduced-scale photographic reproduction was published by Keijo Imperial University. After World War II, other versions were published by the Committee on Korean History and Gakushuin University (1953-1968, 56 volumes). Not only are they fundamental sources on the politics, economy, society, and culture of the Joseon Dynasty, they are also valuable sources on the history of international relations and exchange in East Asia.

朝鮮の史書。現在では，《朝鮮王朝実録》と呼ばれる。全1706巻。太祖から哲宗まで（1392年―1863年）の李朝（朝鮮王朝）歴代諸王の治績を編年体で叙述。各王の没後編纂(へんさん)され，中には数回改修されたものもある。当初，忠州の史庫に保管されているもののみであったが，1439年の全州と星州に史庫が増設され，春秋館の内史庫と合わせ，４部の手写本を作成してそれぞれに分置した。のちに，清書本１部と活字印刷本３部を作成して４史庫に分置した。1592年，秀吉軍の侵入(壬辰倭乱)で３史庫本が焼失，乱終結後，焼失を免れた全州史庫本をもとに４部を活字で復元し，内史庫と，要害の地に新設された４外史庫（摩尼山のち鼎足山，妙香山のち赤裳山，太白山，五台山）に分置し，孝宗代以後は５部すべてを活字印刷に付した。日本植民地時代に朝鮮総督府の命令で中央にすべて集められ，五台山史庫本は，東京帝国大学に集蔵されたが，関東大震災で大部分を焼失。しかしその写本が，1922年に作られており，朝鮮総督府から，皇室（現宮内庁）に送られ集蔵されており，韓国で返還要求がなされている。東京大学の五台山本の残冊は，2006年，マイクロフィルムに収録され，原本がソウル大学奎章閣に寄贈された。鼎足山本と太白山本はソウル大学奎章閣に，赤裳山史庫本は，韓国学中央研究院蔵書閣が所蔵している。複製は京城帝国大学が縮刷写真版を刊行。第２次大戦後，韓国国史編纂委員会と，学習院大学が刊行（1953年―1968年，56冊）したものなどがある。朝鮮王朝時代の政治・経済・社会・文化の根本史料であるばかりでなく，東アジアの国際関係史や国際交流史についても貴重な史料である。
