The Goryeosa ({{Korean|고려사|高麗史}}), or History of Goryeo, is the main surviving historical record of Korea's Goryeo dynasty. Its compilation was started during the reign of Taejo (first king of Joseon) as a justification for the regime change.WEB, 고려사(高麗史) History of Goryeo,weblink 2023-08-29, Encyclopedia of Korean Culture, ko, As such, it presents the view that the king should be a faithful and wise servant of the state: he should be good; should accept the advice of his subjects; and maintain good diplomatic relations. "broadly speaking, it can be said to be a view of Confucianism". It was composed nearly a century after the fall of Goryeo, during the reign of King Sejong. It is written using Hanja script and consists of 139 volumes, 46 of which consist of chronicles, 39 of geography, 2 of Chronological tables, 50 of Biographies, and 2 of lists.in 1395 (Taejo 4), Jeong Do-jeon and (:ko:정총|Jeong Chong) compiled a 37-volume Goryeo State History, which was a major secondary source for the Goryeosa.Sejong ordered a committee of scholars led by Kim Jongseo and Jeong In-ji to compile it, based on primary and secondary sources that are no longer extant.WEB, ko:고려사 (高麗史),weblink Empas / EncyKorea, Korean, WEB, ko:고려사 (高麗史),weblink Empas / Britannica, Korean, It was revised multiple times between 1392 and 1451. Its final form apparently includes almost all of the materials that were available which were recorded apparently without omission. For example, Jeong Mong-ju (鄭夢周) and (:ko:김진양|Kim Jin-yang (金震陽)), both of who, in opposing Yi Seong-gye, were loyal to GoryeoWEB, 김진양(金震陽) Kim Jin-yang,weblink 2023-08-29, Encyclopedia of Korean Culture, ko, were recorded as loyal subjects. However, since the work promotes Neo-Confucianism as the ruling ideology, Taoists and Buddhists were intentionally omitted.It was first published in 1454 (Danjong 2) and was widely distributed, but this version does not exist. The version which remains is a copy printed in 1455, in Eulhae characters. This document has been digitized by the National Institute of Korean History. It is available online in its original hanja and also in a modern hangul translation.WEB, 고려사 Goryeosa,weblink 한국사 데이터베이스, 3 January 2022,
