Gyeongdeokjeon Hall Official Records vol. 22~24

This is one of seven Buddhist scriptures printed at a local temple after the Imjin War (the Japanese invasions of Korea, 1592–1598). The set comprises: the Sipjigyeongnon (Treatise on the Sutra of the Ten Stages), latter volume, from folio 7 of Nanseungji (the fifth stage, 'Difficult to Conquer') to folio 12 of Beopunji (the tenth stage, 'Cloud of Dharma'); the Ganjimnok; a commentary on the Avatamsaka Sutra, vol. 34; the Gyeongdeokjeon Hall Official Records, vols 22–24; the Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment, vol. 6; and the Lotus Sutra, vols 1–2. The way the engravers' names are recorded, and the shape of the fish-tail mark (eomi) in the centrefold, make it possible to identify the format and edition type of woodblock prints produced at provincial temples, and the set is recognised as important material for understanding trends in scripture publishing across the regions in the late Joseon period.
