Dear list, 

Just for information:
In February the Korean Studies Center at the Moscow State University had
finished translation of the entire Samguk sagi. The project was launched as
early as in the late 1950s by Prof. Mikhail N. Pak. The first volume
(mostly _pongi_) appeared in the early 1960s (1961?). Then the work paused,
and was resumed only in the 1990s. The second volume followed, and the
third  and last one had been submitted to "Vostochnaia literatura"
publisher less than a month ago. I am not aware when it will be published,
but, I think, it will take about a year.
