Abstract
This study examines the life and work of Guillaume Delisle, a French cartographer who played a crucial role in designating the East Sea as the Sea of Corea on European maps during the 18th century. We looked at how Delisle taught geography to Louis XV and how a lawsuit over map plagiarism against Jean-Baptiste Nolin led to the establishment of regulations against such practices. Delisle was a pioneer in advancing scientific cartography, writing papers in pursuit of map accuracy, and writing books on geography, which provided us valuable insights into the prevailing state of geographical knowledge at the time, offering a comprehensive overview of the discipline. His isogonic chart was discussed, and the source of his exclusive labeling of East Sea as Sea of Corea was also confirmed by comparison with the map of Antoine Thomas.

이 연구는 18세기 유럽지도에서 동해가 한국해로 표기되는 데 결정적인 기여를 한 프랑스 지도학자 기욤 드릴의 생애와 업적에 대해 고찰한 것이다. 이를 위해 먼저 드릴이 루이 15세에게 가르친 지리학 내용과 장 밥티스트 놀린과 벌인 지도 표절소송을 통해 지도 표절 방지 규정이 제정된 과정을 살펴보았다. 또한 드릴은 과학적 지도학의 선구자로 지도의 정확성을 추구하기 위한 논문과 지리학 서적을 집필했는데, 이 내용을 통해서 당시의 지리학의 흐름을 파악할 수 있었다. 그리고 그의 등편각선 지도를 소개했으며, 그가 동해를 한국해로 단독 표기한 근원을 안트안느 토마스 지도와의 비교를 통해 확인할 수 있었다.
