[KS] New issue of the Seoul Journal of Korean Studies

[Sem]

Dear Colleagues,
I'm happy to report that a new issue of the Seoul Journal of Korean Studies has rolled off the press. And although we are no longer included in any of the hallowed Thomson-Reuters indices, I am convinced that the articles are more interesting and original than ever. Piece by piece they present important new research that considerable sharpens our understanding of well-known phenomena (the sowon, Choson envoys' records of trips to China) or contains virtually unknown facts (lay monk villages, the parentage of late Koryo kings, Korea's mineral richness). The contents of vol. 26, no. 2 (2013) is as follows:
