[KS] Hong Kil-tong in the _Mansong taedongbo_

[Eugene Y. Park]

Dear List:

Just a minor point here.  As Mark Peterson points out, Edward Wagner never
took that Hong Kil-tong entry in the _Mansong taedongbo_ seriously.  I
still remember his laughing at it, pointing to the bix "X" he put over the
name!  My question: Is HKT recorded in any standard Namyang Hong chokpo?
The volume of _Namyang Hong-ssi taegwan_ records no such son under Hong
Sang-jik.  At a time like this, I wish I were at the Harvard-Yenching
Library, so I could run down to its basement and check the dusty chokpo!
