And that was in the late 19th century.<br>> In Germany Yi Kıng-no stated that he introduced Han'gıl in print by <br>> importing a full typeset from Shanghai (same kind of typeset that was <br>> used to print the _Tongnip sinmun_ there). But that was in the 1920s, <br>> and I now see a 1919 Korean reference pointing to the time from about <br>> 1914 to 1918 (for Germany). I wonder where else *in Europe* there were <br>> Han'gıl typesets and when.<br>> <br>> In the U.S., by the way, I believe (but this maybe wrong) that An <br>> Ch'ang-ho's _Sinhan minbo_ in San Francisco was the first publication <br>> using Han'gul in type, but that was done using a typewriter, was not a <br>> print done by type-setting but using some other reproduction method. <br>> <br>> <br>> My second question, related to the above one:<br>> Anyone here knows what GERMAN academic journals where there in the <br>> period 1914 to 1919 that would print scholarly articles about (or <br>> translations of) ancient East Asian Buddhist texts (other than the <br>> _Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft_)?<br>> <br>> <br>> Thank you.<br>> Frank<br>> <br>> --------------------------------------<br>> Frank Hoffmann<br>> http://koreanstudies.com<br>> <br></div></div></div> </div></body>
