Dosangubmunjehyeonrok (1854)A collection of works on literati scholars who studied under Yi Hwang (1501-1570). Since there is neither an introduction nor an epilogue, its exact publication date remains unknown. It is estimated that Dosan Seowon made the woodblocks in the mid-19th century. Kwon Du-gyeong (1654-1725) initially compiled documents chronicling Yi’s disciples in a book titled Gyeomunjejarok but did not publish it. Later, the descendants of associated families added more documents to compile a book with references to a total of 309 people.
