	[KOREA]. HSI, CHU (ZHU, XI): Kûnsarok chiphae. Four volumes. Korea, probably 18th century. Folio. Lvs 74; 65; 53, 61, folded in the Oriental manner. Text written in columns. Sewn as issued in contemporary blindpressed blue paper wrappers, title in manuscript on covers, rubbed (volume three with a few wormholes).

Kûnsarok chiphae is taken from the important Neo-Confucian text of the Chin-ssu lu which was compiled in 1175 by Chu Hsi and Lü Tsu-ch’en. Neo-Confucian teachings were first introduced into Korea in 1290 by An Hyang, a Koryo dynasty scholar.
