Series of the Center for Comparative Studies “I Deug-Su” www.centroideugsu.unisi.it.
The Center for Comparative Studies of the Philology and Ancient and Modern Literatures of Siena University was born in 1994 thanks to Korean Medieval and Comparatist prof. I Deug-Su, who directed it till 2003. The Center promotes Medieval and Comparative researches with particular focus on relationships with Oriental Cultures and Digital Technologies development.
This is the third volume of Hagiographica Coreana (HC 3), the first critical edition of the Acts of the Canonization Process of the Korean martyrs 1839-1846, based on manuscripts in French and Latin now preserved at the Archivio Segreto Vaticano and, from this volume on, the original Korean Version newly found and published by the “Suwon Research Institute of Catholic Church History”.
Every testimony is a narrative of personal tragedies (arrests, tortures, executions, but also firmness of the judges against warders’ abuses) that opens a window onto social landscapes of the XIX century Corea. In this way the collection of the witnesses’ depositions creates an imposing fresco of the drama of conflicting cultures, religions and growing faith, and offers an intriguing page of history to readers of the twenty first century.
The editor Ahn, Jaewon, after Classical Studies at the Göttingen University, is now Research Professor of HK Civilization Research Project at the Institute of Humanities in Seoul National University. He edited Alexandri de figuris sententiarum et verborum (2004) and, in 2006, a Korean translation of the Partitiones Oratoriae of Cicero with critical apparatus and scholarly commentary and Suetonius’ De Grammaticis Romanorum (2013). He has also published many articles, including some comparative studies between East and West cultures (such as «A Comparative Research on Cicero’s orator perfectus and Confucius’ rex perfectus », Papers on Rhetoric 11, Bologna, 2010). He edited Hagiographica Coreana 2 (2012) and wrote Rediscovery of Humanities (2014) in Korea.

Collana del Centro di Studi Comparati “I Deug-Su” www.centroideugsu.unisi.it.
Il Centro di Studi Comparati del Dipartimento di Filologia e Critica delle Letterature Antiche e Moderne dell’Università di Siena nasce nel 1994 per iniziativa del medievista e comparatista coreano I Deug-Su, direttore del Centro dal 1994 al 2003. Promuove ricerche di letterature medievali e comparate, con attenzione particolare al rapporto con le culture orientali e allo sviluppo delle tecnologie digitali.
Questo è il terzo volume di Hagiographica Coreana, la prima edizione critica degli Atti del processo di canonizzazione dei martiri coreani (1839-1846), basata sui manoscritti in francese e in latino conservati nell’Archivio Segreto Vaticano e, da questo volume, sulla versione originale coreana recentemente ritrovata e pubblicata dal “Suwon Research Institute of Catholic Church History”.
Ogni testimonianza è il racconto di tragedie personali (arresti, torture, esecuzioni ma anche fermezza dei giudici contro gli abusi dei guardiani) che apre una finestra sui paesaggi sociali della Corea del XIX secolo. La raccolta delle deposizioni dei testimoni crea un affresco imponente del dramma del conflitto tra culture, religioni e fede, e offre una intrigante pagina di storia ai lettori del ventunesimo secolo.
Il curatore Ahn Jaewon, dopo gli studi classici alla Göttingen University è ora Professore di ricerca nel progetto HK Civilization all’Università Nazionale di Seoul. Ha curato Alexandri de figuris sententiarum et verborum (2004) e, nel 2006, una traduzione coreana delle Partitiones Oratoriae di Cicerone con apparati critici e commentario e un De Grammaticis Romanorum di Suetonius (2013). Ha pubblicato molti articoli, inclusi studi comparativi tra culture orientali e occidentali (come «A Comparative Research on Cicero’s orator perfectus and Confucius’ rex perfectus », Papers on Rhetoric 11, Bologna, 2010). Ha curato Hagiographica Coreana 2 (2012) e ha scritto Rediscovery of Humanities (2014) in Corea.
