Records of Property Inheritance of Yi I and His Siblings

The Records of Property Inheritance of Yi I and His Siblings were drawn up when the brothers and sisters of Yi I (Yulgok), gathered after the death of their parents, agreed on how to divide the inheritance. The document first sets aside land and slaves for ancestral rites and grave-tending, then records in detail the land and slaves allotted to the four sons and three daughters, as well as to Lady Kwon, their father's concubine. At the end are listed the names of those who took part in drawing up the document, together with their sugyeol, a personal mark used at the time in place of a signature. The document is valued not only for what it reveals about Yi I's family history but also as important evidence for the practice of property inheritance in the early Joseon period.
