Munheon Hall Materials related to Cheon Mun-hak held at Namgeugin, Uiryeong

This is a collection of books owned by Nam Geuk-in (pen name Taeso, 1770–1840), a literary scholar of the Joseon period. The Seongjwado (Chart of Constellations) and the Jungseonggi (Record of Culminating Stars), though not compiled by Nam Geuk-in himself, are important materials for examining how people of the Joseon period understood astronomy. The Taesoyujip (Collected Works of Taeso) is also an important source, as it contains a section recording the results of actual astronomical observations that Nam Geuk-in made on the basis of the two earlier books.
