BIBLIOGRAPHICAL STUDIES IN OLD EDITIONS OF SHAKESPEARE'S COMEDIES

1.原文缩微胶片集。有一小部分图书馆未能提供莎士比亚四重奏的缩微胶卷，原因是设备不足或拷贝/拷贝的物理条件太脆弱。尽管有这一缺点，但在两年的时间里快速增长的缩微胶片收藏无论从数量还是质量上都可能是其他任何地方都无法比拟的。2.文本分析和批评。到目前为止，还没有得出足够可靠的结论来发表。然而，我的新书《托马斯·克里德：莎士比亚和他的同代人的印刷商》(梅成大学出版社，1994)对温莎的《快乐的妻子》进行了讨论。其附录B提出了莎士比亚戏剧四分音节中实质性印刷错误的理论数量，从而评论了人们应该如何处理戏剧的文本问题。3.《莎士比亚老版》的马吉尼亚集锦。收集空白是本项目的两个主要目标中的另一个。在梅成大学小玉纪念图书馆收藏的12本《莎士比亚第一对开本》中，有一本，即774先生，在整卷的页边空白处都有当代的注释。它们反映了这位戏剧家的作品是如何被他的当代读者阅读和解读的--这是一个很好的证据，表明读者作为一群在学习中欣赏莎士比亚的人正在崛起，这是一种与传统戏剧观众截然不同的类型。考虑到这一发现的重大意义，我决定编写一份关于边缘的临时报告，特别是关于暴风雨的报告。随附的薄薄出版物是他观察结果的一部分。

1.A Microfilm Collection of Original Texts. A small number of libraries have failed to supply microfilms of Shakespeare's quartos because of thelack of facilities or the too fragile physical condition of their copy/copies. Despite this shortcoming, the microfilm collection grown rapidly over a period of two years may not see, in terms of quantity as well as quality, no comparable one anywhere else.2.Textual Analysis and Criticism. No conclusions sound enough to be published have been obtained yet. However, The Merry Wives of Windsor has got an opportunity to be dealt with in my recent book on Thomas Creede : Printer to Shakespeare and His Contemporaries (Meisei University Press, 1994). Whose Appendix B proposes the theoretical number of substantive printing errors in the quartos of Shakespeare's plays, thus commenting on the way in which one should approach the textual problems of the play.3.A Collection of Marginalia in Old Editions of Shakespeare. Collecting marginalia is the other of the two principal objectives of the present project. One of the twelve copies of the First Folio of Shakespeare in the Kodama Memorial Library of Meisei University, that is MR 774, cotains contemporary annotations in the margin throughout the volume. They reflect how the dramatist's works were read and interpreted by his contemporary reader-a good piece of evidence of the rise of readers as a group of people enjoying Shakespeare in their studies, that is an utterly different type of people from conventional theater-goers. Considering the siginificant importance of the finding, I have decided prepare an interim report on the marginalia, with special reference to The Tempest. The accompanying thin publication is a part of the results of his observations.
