Seokbo sangjeol (Episodes from the Life of Sakyamuni Buddha), Volumes 23 and 24

Seokbo sangjeol was compiled in 1446, the 28th year of King Sejong, after the death of Queen Soheon. To pray for the repose of her soul, King Sejong ordered Grand Prince Suyang (later King Sejo), assisted by Kim Su-on and others, to record the life of Sakyamuni Buddha and his family and to translate the text into Hangul. Seokbo sangjeol, Volumes 23 and 24, belong to the first edition of the work and were printed using gabinja, a bronze movable typeface of the early Joseon period.
