Study of 15th Century Italian Humanistic Letter-writing

我们的项目的目的是阅读一本15世纪英国的手稿，应该是在坎特伯雷制作的，保存在东京大学中央图书馆。这本书是B先生送给大学的。H. 1931年，斯特里特的手稿被写在90张牛皮纸上，手稿的主题是15世纪的“书信集”，包含了许多当时著名人文主义者（波焦·布拉乔利尼、瓜里诺·达·维罗纳等）的信件。通过对手稿的分析，我们发现了一些新的观点，并发现了一些从未被任何印刷书籍收录的波焦和瓜里诺的信件，我们的结论之一是，以西塞罗为代表的中世纪“ars dictaminis”传统，由于结构和规范的相似性，影响了世纪的“书信写作手册”。

The purpose of our project is reading a manuscript book of 15th century England, supposed to be made at Canterbury, preserved in the Central Library of University of Tokyo. The book, gifted to the University by Mr. B. H. Streeter in 1931, was written on 90 vellum leaves.The theme of manuscript is the "ars epistolandi" of 15th century and contains many letters of famous humanists of the period (Poggio Bracciolini, Guarino da Verona, etc.). We have made some new points clear from the analysis of the manuscript and we have found some letters written by Poggio and Guarino which have not ever been included in any printed book.One of our conclusions is that the tradition of mediaeval "ars dictaminis", typical in Cicero, had influenced on the "manual of letter-writing" of 15th century because of the similarity of the structure and of the norms.
