About Korea - Jikji












Hello, everybody!
today's object that i introduce to you is Jikji.
it is writed to korean 백운화상초록불조직지심체요절.
it is stored in France, but we korean have to receive it.
Jikji is the abbreviated title of a Korean Buddhist document, whose full title can be translated "The Monk Baegun's Anthology of the Great Priests' Teachings on Identification of the Buddha’s Spirit by the Practice of Seon." Printed during the Goryeo Dynasty in 1377, it is the world's oldest extant movable metal print book. UNESCO confirmed “Jikji” as the world oldest metalloid type in September 2001 and includes it in the Memory of the World program. Jikji was published in Heungdeok Temple in 1377, 78 years prior to Johannes Gutenberg's "42-Line Bible" printed during the years 1452-1455. The greater part of the Jikji is now lost, and today only the last volume survives, kept at the Manuscrits Orientaux division of National Library of France.
