When the Kitan invaded Gaegyeong in 1011, the Goryeo King Hyeonjong ordered the Chojo Tripitaka to be made. It was completed in 1087, but the woodblocks were later burnt in the Mongolian invasion of 1232. 2/
The characters from the Chojo Tripitaka are relatively bigger than the later Song Dynasty sutras such as the Dongcan and Kaiyuan Tripitakas, and the calligraphy more similar to the Tang style. 3/
Approximately 2,600 woodblock-printed books from the Chojo Tripitaka survive, mostly in Japan. About 200 books survive in Korea and most of them are registered as Treasure or National Treasure. 4/
