<p>[QUOTE="gckimm, post: 9613387, member: 83519"]This is actually a Korean woodblock with a text by the 18th century Korean Confucian scholar Kim Koeng. For most of Korea's history, scholarly texts were written in Chinese characters. The two pages that you show are from the continuation of this particular work. Here, from a Chinese website, is a photo of a woodblock with pages from the original book. I can't tell you the age of your item. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]468745[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
