Collected Writings of King Jeongjo

Collected writings of Joseon’s 22nd king Jeongjo. It is very likely to be the first draft of 『Hongjaejeonseo』 since it shows the trace of editing. The handwritings are neat in general and in places, it is marked with small circles and grades. Different styles of writing such as royal message, royal response, royal advice, funeral oration, royal order, and epitaph are not categorized but mixed together. Years such as ‘Byeongsin’, ‘Jeongyu’, ‘Musul’ are indicated which shows that writings within three years after Jeongjo’s coronation were bound as three separate books by the year.
