[KS] Han'gŭl typesetting in Europe? / Buddhist studies journal

[Sung Deuk Oak]

Dear Frank,
I do not know the first Han'gul typeset printings in Europe.
But in US, I think the first was the Powa Hanin Kyobo (the Korean Methodist Advocate in Hawaii: Honolulu) by the Korean Methodist Churches in Hawaii.It was inaugurated in December 1905 with mimeograph copies.Then they brought the Korean typeset from Seoul and printed the weekly church news from May 1906.
The second was An Ch'angho's Kongnip sinbo [United Korean], from Nov. 22, 1905 to Jan. 27, 1909, San Francisco, which was continued by the Sinhan Minbo [New Korea].But initially it was mimeographed, and then printed in typeset from April 26, 1907.See http://www.dlibrary.go.kr/JavaClient/jsp/wonmun/codetree.jsp?menu=1&sub=4&command=&v_dbid=NCL_DB_E&dbNoArr=&v_codeid=NEWS&v_class1=KSE000003173&v_class2=&kwStr=

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