Modeled after the classic Sources of Chinese Tradition, Sources of Japanese Tradition, and Sources of Indian Tradition, this collection of seminal primary readings in the social, intellectual, and religious traditions of Korea from the sixteenth century to the present day lays the groundwork for understanding Korean civilization and demonstrates how leading intellectuals and public figures in Korea have looked at life, the traditions of their ancestors, and the world they lived in. The selections range from the mid- and late Chosôn dynasty in the sixteenth century, through the encounter with the West and imperialist Japan in the late ninteenth and early twentieth centuries, to the political and cultural events in South and North Korea since 1945―ending with President Kim Taejung's 1998 inaugural address.

Lives of Eminent Korean Monks is an important source for literary and religious history and the general political and cultural development of Korea. Lost for almost seven centuries after it was completed in 1215 by the abbot Kakhun and rediscovered only in 1910, it is one of the earliest extant texts of Korean authorship. This volume is the first study of the Lives in any language, including Korean. The translation is based on a collation of four versions of the text and is extensively annotated.
