Preliminary Study on the Medieval Sermon Sources

正如项目标题所示，本研究试图对中世纪布道来源进行初步调查，并编制一份方便日本中世纪布道人员使用的中世纪布道来源查找表，但这项研究需要的时间比我预期的要长，目前仍在进行中。因此，《研究结果报告》只是我研究的一个中期报告，但它分为两个部分，从两个方面为日本中世纪学者提供了有用的信息：1.第一部分，《超越文字》，虽然它是关于第十五次佛罗伦萨传教的个案研究，但在第二章中，它概述了中世纪布道来源的类型和性质，这将是对这一问题的有益介绍。第二部分翻译了各种中世纪的布道：典范布道、例证、区分、预言艺术等。将它们与第一部分第二章进行比较，可以对中世纪的布道形象有一个清晰的认识。

As indicated in the title of project, this study tries to make a preliminary Survey on the medieval sermon sources and to make a handy finding-list of the medieval sermon sources for use of Japanese medievalists but it required more time than I had expected and is still in progress. Report of Research Results is, therefore, no more than a interim report of my study but it, divided in two parts, provides useful informations for Japanese medievalists in two aspects ;1. The first part, 'Beyond the Written Word, ' though it is a case study on the preaching in the Fifteenth Florence, gives in the second chapter a general view on the types and nature of medieval sermon sources which will be a useful introduction to the problem.2. In the second part are translated various kinds of medieval sermons : model sermons, exempla, distinctiones, artes predicandi etc.. Comparing them with the second chapter of the first part one will be able to have a clear image of medieval preaching.
