¡¸Baekunhwasang Chorok Buljo Jikji
Simche Yojol¡¹(We'll call it ¡¸Jikji¡¹from now) is the oldest metal
printed book in the world among existing books, which was made 78
years before Gutenberg in German had published ¡¸The 42-line Bible,
1452-1455)¡¹.
You can see its historical value, from the event that the world's
powerful presses pointed out that the metal printed type had
mostly influenced on the human historical development during the
last 1000 years.
Although ¡¸Jikji¡¹ was published in Hungduk Temple, 866 Ave.
Uncheondong Hungdukgu Cheongju city Chungcheong Province in Korea,
in 1377, it has not been valued for a long time.
However, it was registered to Memory of the World of UNESCO in SEP
4 2001 thanks to that every circle started to value high.
Only the last volume of ¡¸Jikji¡¹is now in safekeeping in Manuscrit
Orianteaux of France National Library, and the recovery movement
of ¡¸Jikji¡¹is actively spreading, centered round Cheongju.
