koreanlit1-2, Exercise 2: Samguk sagi and Samguk yusa

Model answer:

Compiler: Kim Pusik (also spelled Kim Busik), a Confucian scholar-statesman; Il-yeon, a Buddhist monk, the main compiler (some scholars think he wrote only the fifth fascicle, and a disciple, Muguk, may have expanded it).
Outlook: Confucian and official; Buddhist (about 49.5% of the text is Buddhist material).
Structure: 50 books (Silla 12, Goguryeo 10, Baekje 6, tables 3, monographs 9, biographies 10); two books, five volumes, nine parts.
Myth: the Samguk sagi article does not discuss myths; the Samguk yusa opens with Dangun and mixes myths, legends, folktales and Buddhist stories.

Disagreements: the Samguk sagi is 1145 (lead) or 4 February 1146 (infobox), and the Samguk yusa "around 1280"; Chapter 1's source (Korean literature) gave 1146 and 1285. The names are spelled Kim Pusik / Kim Busik and Il-yeon / Iryeon. The Samguk sagi article uses both spellings and does not reconcile them.
