The purpose of this study is to introduce the newly discovered song-book 『Noraegeon』 to the academic world and to reveal the characteristics and genealogy of the literature data. The results of the study are as follows.
The bibliographical characteristics of 『Noraegyeon』 are as follows. 『Noraejeon』 is a transcription of 『Namhuntaepyeongga』 widely known in Banggakbon. It contains 171 Sijos, 3 Japga and 5 Gasa pieces. 1 manuscript, 45 sheets in total(excluding inner and back covers). Looking at the handwriting, it is judged that first 1-42 sheets were transcribed, then <Hwacheongbyeolgok> was added with a time difference, and then 44 sheets or less were transcribed again. The written characters are pure Korean letters. The person who transcribed it is unknown, and the time is known to be around 1910.
The compilation of 『Songjeon』 consisted of two layers. 'Namhunga(No. 1~158)', part other than Japga and Gasa. The former is a part shared with 『Namhuntaepyeongga』 and is the central part of 『Noraejeon』. It contains 158 Sijos, 3 Japga pieces, and 4 Gasa pieces. Other than that, it's an additional copied part. 13 Sijos and <Hwachungbyeolgok>, another name for Gasa <Jachiga>, are included. As described above, 『Noraejeon』 can be said to be a kind of comprehensive song-book containing Sijo, Gasa, and Japga, which were widely sung from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century.
The following is the result of comparison of the aspects of the works recorded between 『Namhuntaepyeongga』 Banggakbon and other manuscripts. All up to 158 were confirmed to co-occurrence with Banggakbon. It is 66 fewer than Banggakbon which contains 224 numbers. The order of the works is the same. It is highly likely that it was transcribed except for some works based on Banggakbon.
102 numbers co-occurrence with the manuscript 『Namhuntaepyeongga』 (version of the National Folk Museum of Korea). The order of the works is the same. 146 numbers co-occurrence with 『Namhunjeontaepyeongga』(version of Yeotaemyeong), and the recording order is also the same. The difference between the recorded works is only 12 pieces, and it is revealed that it has a higher affinity than 『Namhuntaepyeongga』(version of the National Folk Museum of Korea).
For each of the three types of manuscripts, around 150 works were selected and transcribed based on Banggakbon. There are 158 pieces of 『Noraejeon』, 136 pieces of 『Namhuntaepyeongga』(version of the National Folk Museum of Korea), and 146 pieces of 『Namhunjeontaepyeongga』(version of Yeotaemyeong). This is the reason why the order of the works is the same even though the genealogy between manuscripts is not clearly revealed. Among these, what is interesting is that 14 numbers included in Banggakbon are excluded from all three types of manuscripts. This suggests the possibility that the manuscript was used as a source for other manuscripts.
As such, 『Namhuntaepyeongga』, known only as a Banggakbon song-book, was circulated in various forms in the song cultural sphere from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. With the excavation of the manuscript 『Songjeon』, we can grasp this trend more clearly.
