Garakguk-gi

Garakguk-gi (Korean: 가락국기) is a lost book that is referenced in the Korean history book Samguk yusa.[1]

Description

According to Samguk yusa, it was written by Geumguanjijusa(金官州知事) in the reign of Munjong of the Goryeo dynasty, but the author is unknown.[2]

The content is said to be about the legend of King Suro of Geumgwan Gaya, and only the plot of the book remains. Despite the low level of accuracy it's considered an invaluable resource for studying the history of the Gaya confederacy.
