Samguk Yusa, 三國遺事

Postby phalos » March 27th, 2008 9:03 pm

アンヨンハセヨ。
An yon ha se yo.

I'd like to ask the forum for any information on the Samguk Yusa, or "The Legends of the Three Kingdoms of Korea".
I started studying Korean yesterday, and thought it may be a good subject for a literature paper.

An English translation, 'Classic' Hanja rendering, or a 'modernized' Hangul rendering would be very cool.

Thanks much.

Here's the information from a bibliography on Korean history.

Illyŭn. Samguk yusa (Legends and history of the Three Kingdoms of ancient Korea). Translated by Tae-Hung Ha and Grafton K. Mintz. Seoul: Yonsei University Press, 1972.


We can assume that that is a modern English translation.

It was written in the thirteenth century, during the Koryo period, based on texts that no longer exist.
