Research on Engels' whole editorial process for Capital Volume II. Building up a database of its book-copies and manuscripts based on the latest information technology

我们的研究是在国际马克思恩格斯基金会（IMES）和柏林-勃兰登堡科学与人文科学院（BBAW）的合作下完成的。本研究的目的如下：1。澄清恩格斯《资本论》第二卷的编辑过程即形成恩格斯的编辑手稿（1884-1885），第一版（1885）和资本论第二卷第二版（1891），以便在新的MEGA（卡尔·马克思·弗里德里希·恩格斯Gesamtausgabe）II/12和II/13.2上发表研究成果。数字化第一和第二版的资本卷II(1885/1891)，以便编辑新的MEGA II/13。开发一个数字图像数据库，其中包含马克思和恩格斯的手稿资本论第二卷，以及资本论第二卷的第一版和第二版。这个数字图像数据库将新MEGA中破译的文本与手写原件的相应页面的数字图像连接起来，两者都可以在一个监视器上确认。我们的研究目标已经成功实现了。我们的研究最显著的成果是理清了《资本论》第二卷的整个形成过程。我们的研究结果发表在MEGA II/12和11/13上，II/12已经在2005年11月发表。MEGA II/13将于2007年出版。MEGA，包括20世纪20年代开始出版的旧MEGA，已有80多年的历史。该项目是日本研究人员在历史上首次编辑MEGA卷，包括从阅读马克思和恩格斯的手写手稿到编写补充材料的整个编辑过程。我们的研究成果不仅得到了日本的高度评价，而且得到了国外特别是德国研究者的高度评价。

Our research has been accomplished under the cooperation with the International Marx/Engels Foundation (IMES) and the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BBAW). The goals of this research have been as follows:1.Clarifying Engels' editorial process for Capital Volume II ; namely the formation of Engels' editorial manuscript (1884-1885), the first edition (1885)-and the second edition of Capital Volume II (1891) in order to publish the research results in new MEGA (Karl Marx Friedrich Engels Gesamtausgabe)II/12 and II/13.2.Digitalization of the first and the second edition of Capital Volume II (1885/1891) in order to edit new MEGA II/13. Developing a digital image database, which contains Marx' and Engels' manuscripts for Capital Volume II, as well as, the first and the second edition of Capital Volume II. This digital image database links the deciphered text in new MEGA to digital images of the respective page of the handwritten original, that both can be confirmed on one monitor.The goals of our research have been achieved successfully. The most remarkable result of our research is to have clarified the whole formation process of Capital Volume II.The results of our research are published in MEGA II/12 and 11/13,II/12 has already been published in November 2005. MEGA II/13 will be published in 2007.MEGA, including old MEGA those publication started in the 1920's, has a history of more than 80 years. The project became the first in this history that Japanese researchers edited a MEGA volume, that includes the whole editing process from reading Marx' and Engels' handwritten manuscripts up to compiling a volume with supplementary material.Our research results have received high evaluation not only from Japanese but also from foreign researchers, especially in Germany.
