This research was aimed at clarifying the religious practices of the Yucatec Mayas in Mexico, in relation to their medical view.First, as the fundamental work for this purpose, I carried out electronic text-ization of the Maya-Spanish dictionaries, in order to extract the Mayan vocabularies of the human body and the diseases. The used dictionaries are "Motul dictionary", the 'Vienna dictionary", the "San Francisco dictionary", and J. Pio Perez'"Dictionary of the Language of Maya"(1866-1877). As finished this work, I proceeded in analyzing the vocabularies so as to know about the body view and the physiological view of the diseases of the Yucatec Maya.On the other hand, I conducted field researches in Yucatan, Mexico, in September of 2000 and August of 2001, in which occasions I had the vocabularies obtained from the work mentioned above, checked by the Yucatec Mayan informants, and I observed their religious and medical practices.By this research, it became clear how the Yucatec Mayan people use the physiological knowledge on the human body to explain and treat the illness, which has been conventionally overlooked by the researchers on the Yucatec Mayan cultures. And it became clear also how the Yucatec Maya transformed their original medical view under the Spanish colonial rule, into the so called traditional medicine.I presented the result of this research in the Japanese Latin American Society's Research Convention held in Nagoya University on June 2, 2001, and at the 5th International Mayanist Congress held in Xalapa, Mexico on July 25, 2001. Moreover, I prepared the last report "The Illness of the Yucatec Maya - A Taxonomical Analysis of the Vocabularies of the Maya-Spanish Dictionaries"

本研究的目的是澄清在墨西哥尤卡坦玛雅人的宗教习俗，与他们的医疗观。首先，作为这一目的的基础工作，我进行了玛雅-西班牙语词典的电子文本化，以提取玛雅人的词汇的人体和疾病。所使用的字典是"Motul字典"、"维也纳字典"、"旧金山弗朗西斯科"和J. Pio Perez的"玛雅语言字典"（1866 - 1877）。完成这项工作后，我继续分析这些词汇，以了解尤卡坦玛雅人对疾病的身体观和生理观。另一方面，我于2000年9月和2001年8月在墨西哥尤卡坦进行了实地调查，在这些场合，我有从上述工作中获得的词汇，由尤卡坦玛雅人的线人检查，我观察了他们的宗教和医疗实践。通过这项研究，我清楚了尤卡坦玛雅人是如何利用关于人体的生理知识来解释和治疗疾病的，这是尤卡坦玛雅文化研究者传统上忽视的。在2001年6月2日于名古屋大学召开的日本拉丁美洲学会研究大会上，以及2001年7月25日在墨西哥哈拉帕召开的第5届国际玛雅人大会上，我发表了这一研究成果。此外，我准备了最后一份报告"尤卡坦玛雅人的疾病-玛雅-西班牙语词典词汇的分类分析"。
