Pojeoyuseo and Song Gok Collected Works Pangak Pavilion

These are woodblocks engraved with the collected poetry and prose of the Joseon-period civil official Jo Ik, pen name Pojeo (1579–1655), and his third son Jo Bok-yang, pen name Songgok (1609–1661), numbering 633 blocks in all. Jo Ik was a Joseon civil official who became Jeongpo Manho through hereditary appointment and, after passing a special state examination in the naegwa category in 1602, the thirty-fifth year of King Seonjo, held a succession of offices before rising to the posts of Daesaheon (Inspector-General) and Left State Councillor. However, he resigned when the enshrinement of Yi I and Seong Hon in the Confucian shrine was not accepted. He was a great master of Neo-Confucianism and well versed in ritual studies. Jo Bok-yang was a disciple of Kim Sang-heon; he passed the samasi examination in 1633, the eleventh year of King Injo, and after holding various posts, sought as Bugyori to resign in lament over the harm caused by factional strife, though he did not succeed in doing so. He later, as Siganggwan, pointed out the corruption of court music, and rose to the position of Minister of Rites. He was Jo Ik's third son. The woodblocks used to print Jo Ik's collected works, the Pojeoyuseo, number 377, and those used to print Songgok's collected works, the Songgokjip, number 256.
