A Way with Words. The Calligraphic Art of Jung Do-Jun.
LACHMAN, CHARLES. Stock ID: 101875 Colour illustrations, 56pp, paperback. Quarto. "Although it remains under-appreciated in the West, calligraphy in Korea and throughout East Asia has traditionally been viewed as the highest of the visual arts, more valued than painting or sculpture. Contemporary Korean calligrapher Jung Do-jun's bold and handsome art displays a great diversity of style and format. Jong's work incorporates many styles of calligraphy, featuring both Korean hangul script and Chinese characters. In addition to his mastery of traditional calligraphic styles, Jong also creates expressive, modernistic works whose vibrancy helps keep calligraphy relevant as a modern art form. A Way with Words introduces a broad range of readers to Jung Do-jun's compelling work, covering the art of calligraphy generally and placing Jung's work in the context of the East Asian calligraphic tradition."

Korean Treasures Rare Books, Manuscripts and Artefacts in the Bodleian Libraries and Museums of Oxford University
CHUNG, MINH Stock ID: 137053 82 colour illustrations Many important and valuable manuscripts, rare books, and artefacts related to Korea have been acquired by donations throughout the long history of the Bodleian Library and the museums of the University of Oxford. However, due to an early lack of specialist knowledge in this area, many of these Korean items were largely neglected. This publication uncovers these treasures and presents them together in a single volume for the first time. Notable items include the court painting scroll of the funeral procession of King Yongjo ?? (1694-1776); a presentation edition of a book given by King Yongjo to his son-in-law; a group of documents issued by Emperor Kojong ?? (1852-1919) between 1885 and 1886 to confer various titles to his civil and military officials; a sundial made by the famous maker Kang Yun ?? (1830-98) for Emperor Kojong; a ceramic dish made and signed by Princess Yi Pangja ??? (1901-89) as well as a rare example of a suit of armour, an ornate helmet of the early sixteenth century, a general's quiver and arrows, and many more. In addition, this book also gives a general overview of the extent of the Korean book collections in Oxford and locations where some of these treasures can be seen.
