Wooden movable type. 57 folding leaves. Large 8vo (305 x 206 mm.), orig. yellow patterned semi-stiff wrappers, orig. stitching. [Korea]: 1920. First edition of this rare collection of texts relating to Kim ?n-su ???, published by his descendant Kim Si-han, with texts relating to Kim Yun-hy?n ??? in appendix. Kim ?n-su was a military official who fought in the Imjin War and then in the first Manchu invasion of Korea, during which he perished in battle. The Imjin War (1592-98) was the invasion of Chos?n Korea by Japan, with Ming China entering the war on the side of Korea. The Manchu invasion some decades later was part of the rise of the Manchus to eventually become the dominant power in East Asia as the Qing empire. For Korea, the Imjin War and Manchu invasion were destructive and traumatic events, with the former constituting a watershed in Korean history and the latter leaving many Chos?n intellectuals with a long-lasting animosity toward the Manchus. According to one of the individuals involved in producing this book, "the fact that the country could be rebuilt after [these] calamitiesdepended on the ranks of local righteous men." ?n-su is presented in this book as one such man. When this book was published, in 1920, Korea had been colonized by Japan; in the eyes of some, the war had echoes in the present. The book has two Prefaces and two colophons. The first Preface, undated, is written by No Sang-jik ??? of documented anti-Japanese sentiment and the second by An Ch?ng-ny? (or An Cheong-nyeo) ??? (1871-1939), dated 1920. The first colophon is by Kim Chae-jik (or Kim Jae-jik) ???, dated 1919, and the second is by Kim Si-han, dated 1920. An Ch?ng-ny? explicitly linked the Imjin War to Japan's later annexation of Korea as a colony in the early 20th century: "The calamitous political transformation of our eastern [land] today is but a late-coming disaster stemming from the Imjin [War], but now the loyal servants of the throne and righteous men all have their hands tied, without a way forward." Fine copy and rare; we find no record in WorldCat. The book is held in libraries in South Korea.…
