Buljoyeokdaetongjae Hall of Beomeosa Temple

This is a book compiled in chronological form (pyeollyeonche, a method of historical writing that records events in the order in which they occurred) by Yeomsang of the Yuan dynasty, recording the biographies of eminent monks from the birth of Sakyamuni Buddha up to the third year of King Chungsuk of Goryeo (1334). It originally comprised 22 volumes in 10 books, but Beomeosa Temple currently holds only 9 books, lacking volumes 2 to 5. This edition was reprinted with minor revisions at Ssangbongsa Temple on Sajasan Mountain in Jeolla-do in the 9th year of King Seonjo (1576). This, in turn, was a re-carving of woodblocks that had originally been cut and circulated by Gwangui at Daejaeunsa Temple in the 12th year of King Sejong (1430). It is an important source for understanding woodblock printing in the early Joseon period and the pattern of Buddhist faith within the royal court.
