An Historical Study of Yomihon Publishing and Circulation in the Nineteenth Century

我们目前的研究目的是完成第一个“Yomihon出版年表和清单”的临时版本。我们今年的工作重点是重新努力调查收集，以补充我们去年已经收集和整理的数据，并重新考虑今年的调查计划。在为今年的书目实地工作安排了详细的时间表之后，我们开始讨论记录书目数据的方法。这种方法讨论的结果是减少了每个条目的书目字段的数量，而不是我们计划的所谓的“全长”约米洪，并继续到明年记录不同印刷的细节问题。从去年开始，我们继续调查私人收藏，并从国会图书馆收集必要的照片复制品。特别值得一提的是，我们的调查对印刷博物馆的铃木德藏收藏的手稿和其他材料以及在立山市博物馆收集的与Kyokutei Bakin的Hakkenden有关的材料进行了更多的调查，在这些材料中，我们发现了一本完整的第一版Hakkenden节选书。此外，我们于8月和11月两次前往广岛大学图书馆，调查了该图书馆以前无法调查的250份重要的约米文馆藏，并完成了书目工作，并为这些馆藏拍摄了数字图像。由于这些藏品中有些是我们在其他地方找不到的，所以这些旅行特别有价值。今年的研究产生了一些重要的新信息，虽然我们离能够产生一个权威的弥米语清单还有很长的路要走，但我们已经汇编了一个临时的“弥米语出版年表和清单”。最后，由于变体文本研究的重要任务仍然存在，我们计划扩展目前的研究，并根据长期研究说明书申请了额外的资金。少

The current aim of our research is the completion of a provisional version of the first 'Chronology and Checklist of Yomihon Publishing'. The focus of our work for the current year has been a renewed effort to survey collections to supplement the data we already collected and put into order last year as well as a rethinking of this year's survey plan. After arranging a detailed schedule for this year's bibliographical fieldwork, we proceeded to a discussion of methodology for recording bibliographical data. The results of this methodological discussion were to reduce the number of bibliographic fields per entry from what we had planned for so-called 'full length' yomihon and to continue to next year the problem of recording the details of variant printings.From last year, we continued our survey of private collections and the gathering of necessary photo duplications of materials from the National Diet Library's collection. In particular, deserving of special mention are our survey's o … More f the manuscript and other materials of Suzuki Tokuzo Collection at the Printing Museum and the collection of materials relating to Kyokutei Bakin's Hakkenden at the Tateyama City Museum in which we identified a complete first edition of a book of excerpts of the Hakkenden. In addition, we made two trips to the Hiroshima University Library in August and November to survey that library's important collection of 250 yomihon which we had been unable to survey previously and completed the bibliographical work and taking of digital images for this collection. As there were items in this collection which we had not found elsewhere, these trips were particularly valuable. This year's research produced some important new information and while we are still a long way from being able to produce an authoritative checklist of yomihon, we have assembled a provisional 'Chronology and Checklist of Yomihon Publishing'.Finally, as the important task of studying variant texts remains, we plan on extending the present study and have applied for additional funding based on a long term research prospectus.
