알렌의 조선도착 기록 오류에 관한 연구

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It is generally known that Horace N. Allen(1858-1932), the first resident missionary to Korea, left Shanghai for Korea on September 14, 1884. According to his own diary and letters, however, Allen had already come into the port of Busan on September 14. The date. which has been regarded as the beginning of the history of Korea mission, has to be readjusted. The Allen Diary in The Horace Newton Allen Manuscript Collection owned by the New York Public Library shows that on September 14 he did not leave Shanghai for Korea but was in Korea because the diary wrote about the port of Busan in detail. Unfortunately, Paek Nak-Chun, the most representative Korean church historian quoted and translated only the first sentence of the diary and ignored the latter part reporting Allen`s first impression of the port of Busan. Then following historians including Harry Rhodes(1875-1965) just requoted it without confirming the original sources. The purpose of this article is to explore the date and route of Allen coming from Shanghai to Korea in order to suggest the adjustment of the date of Allen`s arrival in Korea. For this purpose, Allen`s diary and personal letters have been employed along with those of other missionaries.
