<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Maurice Courant’s <i>Répertoire</i> is the
reference work used in French Korean studies for the translations of pre-modern
official titles. It is pretty complete and accurate in general. Problems happen
when we want to render those translations into English. I haven’t find a
solution myself as for now…<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Dear all,<br>
<br>
Some time ago there was a discussion on this mailing list regarding the
translation of Chosŏn official titles. I am now sitting here with Maurice
Courant's Répertoire historique de l'administration coréenne (Paris: Centre
d’études coréennes du Collège de France, 1986), a photographic reprint of
Courant's manuscript from the 1890s. This work includes translations of 1490
terms, which is more than I have seen in English. Does anybody have an opinion
on this work?<br clear=all>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
