The ''Goryeosa'' (), or ''History of Goryeo'', is the main surviving historical record of Korea's
Goryeo dynasty. It was composed nearly a century after the fall of Goryeo, during the reign of King
Sejong, undergoing repeated revisions between 1392 and 1451. He ordered a committee of scholars led by
Kim Jongseo and
Jeong Inji to compile it, based on primary and secondary sources that are no longer extant.
The ''Goryeo-sa'', written using
Hanja script, consists of 139 volumes, 46 of which consist of chronicles, 39 of geography, 2 of Chronological tables, 50 of Biographies, and 2 of lists. The document has been digitized by the
National Institute of Korean History and available online with
Modern Korean translation in
Hangul and original text in
Hanja script.
