A horrible novel, as Rüdiger already indicated. 
As for the correct names and place names from the 
KOREAN edition, first published in 1975 under the 
title:
P'i hûllin kirûl ttarasô (509 pages), Chônghan Ch'ulp'ansa

Then again, there are really plenty (!) of 
historical writings in Korean about all this 
(mostly and naturally publications coming from 
writers close to the Catholic church), and then 
those in German, here especially the two thick 
volumes (already mentioned, see last mail for 
bibliographic details):

- Der fünfarmige Leuchter: Beiträge zum Werden 
und Wirken der Benediktinerkongregation von St. 
Ottilien [1971]

- Hwan Gab: 60 Jahre Benediktinermission in Korea 
und in der Mandschurei  [1973]
