DE ANIMA – Digital Edition & Analysis of a Newly Discovered Jesuit Manuscript: The Herzog August Bibliothek manuscript of the Jesuit Compendia of Philosophy, Theology and Cosmology in Japanese Translation (ca. 1595)

本文概述的研究项目起源于对位于沃尔芬比特尔的赫尔佐格·奥古斯特图书馆（HAB）的大量手稿的鉴定，其中包括日语翻译的所谓哲学，神学和宇宙学纲要（约200年）。1595），形成了自16世纪后期二十多年来日本和后来澳门耶稣会学院教育的基础。虽然三方纲要，一般归因于西班牙耶稣会佩德罗戈麦斯（1533/35-1600），早已知道在其原来的拉丁文形式（1593年），直到今天只有第一部分（德阿尼玛）和大部分的第二部分（德神学），其日文翻译（约1000年）。1595年），在一个单一的手稿。接近800个PP。除了完整的第二部分外，HAB手稿还首次包括完整的第三部分（De Sphaera），其中介绍了亚里士多德和托勒密传统中的地心模型和四要素理论。该项目的目的是将新发现的简编文本见证以用户为中心，易于访问，具有历史批判性的数字版本呈现，以便随时提供给各种不同领域的学术研究。为此，鲁尔大学波鸿日本语言文学系与HAB之间安排了密切合作，HAB是手稿的所有者，同时也是数字人文领域的知名机构，因其数字图书馆和一系列数字版本而闻名，因为他们在XML/TEI-P5编码、文本挖掘工具和搜索算法方面的经验，还有其他的数字版是由一个论文项目，旨在说明只有数字版是在一个位置，为我们提供的潜力补充。本文运用语言学、翻译学和数字文体学的方法，探讨了几个相互关联但尚未解决的问题，包括作者和译者、文本的起源和传播、欧洲模式以及其中反映的翻译策略。在本赠款提案的筹备工作中已经取得了初步的可喜成果，但只有在整个简编的数字版的基础上，上述方法才能充分发挥其潜力。

The research project outlined herein has its origin in the identification of an extensive manuscript at Herzog August Bibliothek (HAB), Wolfenbüttel, which comprises the so-called Compendia of philosophy, theology and cosmology in Japanese translation (ca. 1595), forming for more than two decades since the late 16th century the basis of education in the Jesuit colleges in Japan and later Macau. Although the tripartite Compendia, generally attributed to Spanish Jesuit Pedro Gómez (1533/35–1600), have long been known in their original Latin form (1593), up until today only the first part (De Anima) and most of the second part (De Theologia) of their Japanese translation (ca. 1595) have been accessible in a single manuscript. With its close to 800 pp. of text, the HAB manuscript now comprises for the first time, in addition to the complete second part, the entire third part (De Sphaera), which introduces the geocentric model and the four-element theory in the tradition of Aristotle and Ptolemy. The aim of the project is to present the newly discovered text witness of the Compendia in a user-centered, easily accessible, historical-critical digital edition in order to make it readily available to scholarship in a variety of different fields. To this end, a close cooperation has been arranged between the Section of Japanese Language and Literature at Ruhr University Bochum and the HAB as the owner of the manuscript — and at the same time as a renowned institution in the field of Digital Humanities, well-known through their Digital Library and their series of digital editions for their experience in encoding in XML/TEI-P5, text-mining tools and search algorithms, among others. The digital edition is complemented by a dissertation project which seeks to illustrate the potential only a digital edition is in a position to provide us with. By applying methods from the fields of linguistics and translation studies as well as of digital stylometry, several interrelated but hitherto unresolved issues concerning author- and translatorship, the genesis and transmission of the text, as well as its European models and the translation strategies reflected in it will be addressed herein. First promising results have already been achieved in the preparatory work towards the present grant proposal, yet it is only on the basis of the digital edition of the entire Compendia that the aforementioned approach will reach its full potential.
