Samsipbun gongdeoksogyeong (Buddhist Invocations Reciting Names of 30 Bodhisattvas)

This book lists the names of thirty Buddhas and bodhisattvas, compiled by borrowing the titles of Buddhist scriptures, and it was believed that reciting them would generate merit. It was carved on wood and printed on mulberry paper in a form that unfolds like a folding screen, measuring 21.7 cm in height and 8.8 cm in width. A note at the end of the book records that it was published in 1339, the eighth year of the restored reign of King Chungsuk of Goryeo, through the donations of Jo Si-u, Jeong Gong-yeon and others, with the text written by Nam Yeong-sin and the carving done by the monk Hyeil. This book, made for devotional use encouraging the recitation of the names of Buddhas and bodhisattvas, is valued as material offering a glimpse into the religious trends of its time.
