독일 상트 오틸리엔수도원 선교박물관 소장 조선 후기 “益山戶籍” 자료의 書誌的 재검토 = Bibliographical Reconsideration of Family Register in the Late Joseon Dynasty Possessed by the Mission Museum of St. Ottilien Archabbey, Germany

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Mission Museum under the St. Ottilien Archabbey, Emming, Bayern, Germany, has about 1,800 cultural objects which German missionaries had collected in Korea for 100 years since the early 20th century. Among the four items that were returned to Korea, there is a family register called “Iksan Hojeok” (益山戶籍). It was used as backing paper for a map of the world called “Gonyeo Jeondo” (坤輿全圖) in the form of an eight-panel folding screen (49 centimeters in width, 186 centimeters in height).
“Iksan Hojeok” was found during the process of conservation and restoration of the folding screen, 2013-2015. Its forty-five sheets of paper were attached to it in three rows, layer by layer. It was severely damaged and the pages were also jumbled up, requiring a bibliographic study.
As for the time of production, “Iksan Hojeok” consists ‘Imja Hojeok’ (壬子戶籍: family register made in the year of Imja) and ‘Geyu Hojeok’ (癸酉戶籍: family register made in the year of Geyu). While ‘Geyu Hojeok’ was written according to the system of making five households into one group (五家作統制), ‘Imja Hojeok’ was not. Considering the system had been carried out since 1675, it seems that ‘Imja Hojeok’ was written before 1675, ‘Geyu Hojeok’ was after 1675. Further analysis indicates that ‘Imja Hojeok’ was written in 1672, and ‘Geyu Hojeok’ was in 1753.
As for the place of production, place names appearing in ‘Imja Hojeok’ indicates that it was produced in Iksan, Jeolla-do. However, it is difficult to determine where ‘Geyu Hojeok’ was produced. However, judging by the people’s names, family origins, and occupations appearing in it, it can be said that it was produced not in Iksan, Jeolla-do, it could be presumed to be from the Paju (坡州) or Gyoha (交河) area, located near the Imjin River (臨津江) in the northern part of Gyeonggi-do.
This family registers is not complete, but considering that most family registers from the late Joseon dynasty are concentrated in the Gyeongsang-do and Jeju Island (濟州島) regions, such as Daegu (大邱), Ulsan (蔚山), Danseong (丹城), and Eonyang (彦陽), it is valuable in that it is data from Jeolla-do and Gyeonggi-do regions.
