Collecting and Examing Renga Works to Compile Chronological Table of Renga Works.

这项研究项目的目的是通过三个不同的任务与日本中世纪和江户文学领域的学者合作来实现的。第一项任务是广泛收集和审查元古十年(公元1697年)之前的伦加作品。第二项任务是将第一项任务中准备的材料制作一个计算机数据库，最后利用第二项任务的数据库制作一份伦加作品年表。收集和审查伦加作品的第一项任务是通过在有关材料所属地方进行的直接研究和通过检查材料的复印件进行的间接研究来完成的。由于研究范围广泛，性质全面，发现了许多新材料。在过去的三年里，本研究项目收集和审查的材料数量达到了约8,000份，以co…的形式目前已有2862部计算机资料表存入上述数据库，目前尚有6000部左右的作品因检索困难而未被收集和审核。例如，在Kokubungaku-Kenkyu-Shiryokan进行的研究项目中开发的数据库主程序(Renga作品索引汇编系统)得到了更新。还重新审查了以下几点：即记录数据表的格式和方法、材料的分类和顺序、朗加诗人姓名的阅读、作品的识别和数据的打印方式。关于资料编辑的一些创新之处有待今后进一步研究。随着本项目取得的成果，我们希望在不久的将来完成对Renga资料的进一步收集，并编制和提供一份全面而明确的Renga作品年表。有关研究项目和结果的详细信息，请参阅本摘要所附报告。较少

The object of this research project was to be attained by three different tasks with the collaboration of scholars in the field of Japanese medieval and Edo literature. The first was to extensively gather and examine the works of Renga (linked verses) written before the tenth year of Genroku (1697 AD.).Second was to make a computer data-base with the materials prepared in the first task, and lastly to make a chronological table of the works of Renga by making use of the data-base of the second task.The first task of collecting and examining the Renga works was completed by direct' research conducted at the places to which the materials in question belong and also by 'indirect' research carried through examining photo-copies of the materials. As the research was extensive in its range and comprehensive in its nature, many new materials were discovered. The number of the materials collected and examined in this research project in the past three years reached about 8000 in the form of co … More mputer data-sheets, 2862 of which were already put into the data-base mentioned above, At this stage, There are about 6000 works which have not been collected and examined due to difficulties in getting access to them.The task of compiling the chronological table of the Renga works through the usage of the computer data-base has been studied from various aspects. For example, the main program for the data-base(the system for compiling the index of the Renga works) which had been developed in the research project conducted by Kokubungaku-kenkyu-Shiryokan was rennovated. Also the following points were re-examined ; namely , the format and the method of recording the data-sheets, the classification and the order of the materials, the reading of the names of Renga poets, the identification of the works and the modes of printing out the data. Some of the rennovations concerning the editing of the data are left to be studied in the future.With the results brought forth in this project, we hope to complete a furthercollection of the Renga materials, and compile and present a comprehensive anddefinite version of the chronological table of Renga works in the near future.For details of the research project and its results, refer to the report attached to this summary.
