Dear All,

I am looking for a dictionary or glossary that lists and defines some of
the terminologies used in Choson era. A student is working on a thesis on
the late Choson period and asked me if there is any kind of
dictionary/glossary for specialists that defines some of the key terms or
phrases used in Choson society, preferably with English translations. For
instance, what is the scholarly definition for words like 과전법 (*kwajonpop*)
and how is it translated into English (i.e., Land Rank Law)? I assume that
there are many words like this that we can look up. I am not a
pre-modernist, so I would appreciate recommendations (including online
ones) from specialists.

Please email me directly at skhwang3 at gmail.com.
Thank you.

Kind regards,
Su-kyoung
