Among all the Korean dynasties, the Koryŏ dynasty (918-1392) was the first to have contact with the Western world. It was from these interactions that the current appellation of "Korea" was derived from the Koryŏ name. The Koryŏsa, or the History of Koryŏ, is one of the most significant historical texts on the Koryŏ Dynasty of the Korean peninsula. As the principal surviving history, the Koryŏsa elucidates the politics, society, economy, culture, and key figures of this period. Although the Koryŏsa was compiled during the Chosŏn dynasty (1392-1910), much of the known information about Koryŏ is contained within this text, making it the primary text for understanding 500 years of premodern Korean history, culture, and civilization. This translation is the first, full-length, English-language translation of the introductory section of the Koryŏsa and the first ten volumes of the annals of the kings, beginning with the dynastic founder, T’aejo Wang Kŏn (r. 918-943) to the fourteenth monarch, Hŏnjong (r. 1095). The nearly two hundred years of Koryŏ history encompassed within the first ten volumes of the annals provides invaluable insight into the birth and development of Koryŏ state and society, as well as the rituals and practices of warfare, diplomacy, and international relations with neighboring territories, including the Khitan, Jurchen, and Song China. The wealth of information has been integral to knowing Korea’s past, offering lessons from history that are relevant to understanding modern-day Korea. Made readable to an English-language audience, this translation will interest researchers across East Asian history, and of various fields including religion, philosophy, and culture.

Koryŏsa: The History of Koryŏ, Books III and IV continue the groundbreaking English translation of one of Korea’s most important historical texts. Covering the reigns from King Sukchong (r. 1095–1105) to King Ŭijong (r. 1146–1170), these nine volumes of royal annals illuminate a pivotal era in the Koryŏ dynasty (918–1392). Where the first two translated volumes traced the dynasty’s birth and early foundations, this installment explores its political maturation and the challenges of statecraft. Readers encounter succession disputes, the turbulence of the Yi Chagyŏm rebellion of 1126 and the Myoch’ŏng rebellion of 1135, and the limits of royal authority in the face of aristocratic power and popular unrest. At the same time, the text reveals Koryŏ’s active engagement in diplomacy, ritual, and warfare with neighboring powers—including Song China, the Khitan Liao, and the rising Jurchen Jin. These annals capture the complexity of a kingdom negotiating its place within the shifting geopolitical order of northeast Asia. Rich in detail and critical to understanding Korea’s medieval past, these volumes are an indispensable resource for scholars of Korean history, East Asian politics, and comparative world civilizations.
