*''Compiled: [[1424]]-[[1451]]''
*''Korean'': 高麗史 ''(Goryeosa / Koryŏsa)''
The ''Goryeosa'' or ''Koryŏsa'' (lit. "History of Goryeo") is the official history of the [[Goryeo dynasty]] of Korea, produced from
[[1424]] to [[1451]] by the royal court of [[Joseon]], the successor to Goryeo.
The text is significant not only as a resource for Korean history, but for East Asian history more broadly. It may contain the earliest documentary references to ''waegu'' (J: ''[[wako|wakô]]'', lit. "Japanese pirates"),<ref>Gregory Smits, ''Maritime Ryukyu'', University of Hawaii Press (2019), 37.</ref> as well as perhaps the earliest documentary references to the [[Ryukyu Islands|Ryukyuan]] kingdom of [[Chuzan|Chûzan's]] [[tribute|tributary]] status in relation to the [[Ming Dynasty|Ming Empire]].<ref>Yokoyama Manabu 横山学, ''Ryûkyû koku shisetsu torai no kenkyû'' 琉球国使節渡来の研究, Tokyo: Yoshikawa kôbunkan (1987), 1.</ref>
