Collecting 35mm-film Miniatures of Manuscripts of the Middle Ages in Europe and Making their Databases, and Making a Table of Characteristics of the Miniatures

这项研究的目的是收集欧洲中世纪手稿的微缩模型，如天堂，梦想世界和阴间世界，并制作数据库，最后我的目标是根据每个特征制作一个表格。然而，笔者在调查中发现，《彼岸世界》的绘画不仅是手稿的微缩版，而且还有壁画、祭坛画、镶嵌画、壁画等，因此，通过中世纪文献对彼岸世界元素的分析，对于理解其各种元素的含义是必要的和不可或缺的。从这个观点出发，特别有趣的精神世界（炼狱，地狱，天堂）被研究，通过重组的文章，如H. R.补丁和艾莉森摩根根据这三个领域的独特元素。并尝试与一些视觉艺术进行比较。关于欧洲中世纪手稿的微缩模型，我请国外图书馆和博物馆寄来35毫米胶片的微缩模型，并通过互联网收集了一些微缩模型的样本，研究结果以小论文的形式发表在福井国立技术大学的公报上，然后阅读了一篇题为《论精神世界的地形图案--炼狱、地狱和天堂》的论文，“在日本中世纪英语研究学会第13届大会上。这项由科学研究资助基金会进行的研究对我来说是一项非常有价值的研究，可以确定中世纪人对宇宙或生死的看法;然而，我成功地制作了一份关于另一个世界的纪录片名单，而不是一个关于35毫米电影微缩模型特征的表格，其结果将成为制作中世纪其他世界视觉艺术特征表格的一个步骤。

The purpose of this research was literally to collect miniatures of manuscripts of the Middle Ages in Europe such as paradises, dream worlds, and nether worlds, and to make the databases, and finally I aimed to make a table based on each characteristic. However, I realized, while investigationg, that the drawings of The Other World is drawn as not only miniatures of the manuscripts but also as frescoes, altar pictures, mosaic pictures, and wall paintings etc.Therefore, the analysis of elements of the other world by medieval documents is neccessary and indispensable to understand the meanings of their various elements. From this viewpoint, especially interesting spiritual worlds (Purgatory, Hell, Paradise) were researched by restructuring the articles such as H.R.Patch and Alison Morgan according to the distinctive elements of these three realms. And the comparison with some visual arts was also attempted. As for miniatures of manuscripts of the Middle Ages in Europe, I asked foreign libraries and museums to send 35mm-films miniatures and besides I collected some samples of miniatures through the Internet.The research results was mede public in the form of a small paper for the bulletin of Fukui National College of Technology and then read a paper, titled "On Topographical Motifs in Spiritual Worlds--Purgatory, Hell and Paradise, " at the 13th Congress of The Japan Society for Medieval English Studies.This research by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research was a quite valuable study for me to make sure what vision of the universe or life and death medieval people had ; however, I was successful to make a documentary list on the Other World, but not a table concerning the characteristics of 35mm-films miniatures.The results will become a step to make a characteristic table of the visual arts of the medieval other world.
