In the Joseon dynasty, Buddhism was very suppressed, but esoteric Buddhism was exceptionally treated so as to be more followed, and various ritual books, Holy words(眞言), and Dharani scriptures(陀羅尼經) were published. In this study, the publications of esoteric Buddhist Sutras in the Joseon dynasty are summarized. In addition, by the examination of existing sutras, we analyzed the trend in their thematic, periodic and regional distributions. When we examine the thematic distribution of Buddhist ritual books, most materials are related to Sooryuk-jae(水陸齋), daily rituals, offering ritual to Budda, and Yeosoo-jae(豫修齋). In periodic distribution of Sutras, publications between the 16th and 17th century were dominant, especially during the reign of King Seon-jo and King Sook-jong were most prevalent one with the theme of Sooryuk-jae. In regional distribution of Sutras, Kyungsang and Jeolla provinces were noticeable with the ratio of 65%. Also their publishing methods were mainly by woodblock print, and partially by movable wooden types or metal types. Another noteworthy fact is that despite suppression of Buddhism, esoteric Buddhism was strongly followed and sponsored by people, especially Royal families. It is well evidenced that many esoteric Buddhist Sutras were published with the financial support of those Royal families, and by the Gangyungdogam.

조선시대의 불교는 억불정책으로 많은 탄압을 받았지만 밀교적 신앙만은 배척하지 못 하고 오히려 더 신봉하였으며, 이에 따라 불교의식집을 비롯하여 진언․다라니경과 같은 많은 밀교경전이 간행되었다. 이 연구는 조선시대 간행된 밀교경전을 개괄하고, 현존 자료 를 통해 밀교경전의 주제별, 시기별, 지역별 간행에 대해 분석한 것이다. 불교의식집의 주제별 분포를 보면 水陸齋, 日常儀禮, 獻供儀式, 預修齋 관련 경전이 비교적 많고, 시대별로 보면 16-17세기의 판본이 가장 많으며, 그 중 선조-숙종조에 간행 된 수륙재 관련 경전이 비교적 많다. 지역별로는 경상․전라지역의 판본이 전체 의식집의 약 65%를 차지하고 있다. 또한 대부분이 목판본이지만 중앙의 활자로도 인출되었고, 왕실 발원판 및 간경도감판도 다수 확인되어 조선시대에는 억불 상황에서도 밀교를 깊이 신봉 하였고, 이에 따라 밀교경전이 중요시되었음을 보여준다.
