Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: Summary Today, it became known that several diplomatic letters, which proved to be written on Korean-produced papers, are in the secret archives of the Vatican. In addition to these letters, many other letters have been found. Second, one of the most interesting findings is the archeological sites, which are said to have been Korean paper mills found in Mongolia. In other words, it is believed that in several places in Mongolia there were so called Korean cities where there were paper mills. For example, Mongolian archaeologists have reported that the ruins in Ongon soum, Sukhbaatar Province, were a Korean paper mill. Third, the Mongols in Persia continued to use Korean-produced papers in the final years of its empire. If so, it is likely that a large number of paintings belonged to the period of Il Khanate were drawn on the Korean hand-made papers. Another interesting historical fact is that these illustrated books written during the reign of Il Khanate were disseminated in Korea.
