Sinjŭng Tongguk yŏji sŭngnam

Sinjŭng Tongguk yŏji sŭngnam, or Revised Augmented Survey of the Geography of Korea, is a Korean geography book that was published by the Joseon dynasty in 1530. It is a revision and enlargement of the Tongguk yŏji sŭngnam, or Augmented Survey of the Geography of Korea, which was published in 1481 and contains 50 volumes. The only printed copy of the book can be found at Kyoto University. However, printed volumes 37 and 38 of the Tongguk yŏji sŭngnam are in private ownership in South Korea. The original wooden print is in Kyujanggak.

History

The project was originally created in 1481 and imitated a Chinese pattern for geographies. In 1530, five more books were added, making the series an expanded edition. Thus the word sinjŭng was added to indicate the expansion of content, with the total of 55 books. The enlarged edition was compiled by Lee Haeng and Yun Eun-bo.
The book was more of a guidebook for a separate map rather than actual cartography. 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. The book contained prologues written by Confucian scholars of the times.
