A collection of tales of the Three Kingdoms period, compiled by Iryeon, a monk of Goryeo. He gathered the stories the official histories had cast aside. It is the oldest book that carries the myth of Dangun.

All entries fully translated (140 entries, 467 paragraphs and 352 notes, by the count of the National Institute of Korean History database). For the five bhiksus of Pocheonsan we followed the source text, which records them together under the entry on the Master Yeongyeo. The Royal Chronology is seen separately, on the timeline screen.
