Research of the Kyo^rn Library

本项目的目的是通过对早稻田大学图书馆Kyo^rin图书馆手写和印刷书籍的详尽研究和清点，创建新的馆藏目录，分析材料的年代，并确定藏品的独特特征。从2001年4月到2003年3月，对早稻田大学图书馆特殊材料部门的Kyo^rin图书馆藏书进行了12次调查(历时约33天)。此外，为了研究的目的，我们访问了相关的寺庙图书馆，如Eizan bunko^图书馆，以及Kyo^rin图书馆藏品的原始位置，位于滋贺县Kannonsho^ji Tatchu^Kyo^rin-bo^。调查涉及梳理Kyo^rin图书馆中的约1,100份个人文献，手工记录它们的特点和内容，然后将数据输入Excel格式。详细的数据条目包括Kyo^rin图书馆的目录号、正文名称、其他正文名称、装订、页数、文献尺寸、写作或出版的日期(日本日期)、西历年代、它们是由贡卡库或Kakujin僧侣复制或委托复制的、先前所有者的姓名或藏品、先前所有者的朱红和苏美墨印章(其中一些表明文件的分类)、序言和附言、出版信息、文本起源的记录以及其他备注。日式书籍的封面、内部标题、正文来源记录和收藏印章都是用数码相机记录的。

The purpose of this project was, through exhaustively studying and inventorying the hand-written and printed books in the Kyo^rin Library at Waseda University's library, to create a new catalogue of the collection, to analyze the chronology of the materials, and to identify unique characteristics of the collection.From April 2001 through March 2003 twelve investigations were conducted (amounting to roughly thirty three days) on the Kyo^rin library collection at Waseda University Library's special materials department. Moreover, for research purposes, we visited related temple libraries, such as the Eizan bunko^library, and the original location of the Kyo^rin library collection at Kannonsho^ji Tatchu^Kyo^rin-bo^in Shiga Prefecture.The investigation involved combing through about eleven hundred individual documents in the Kyo^rin library, recording their characteristics and contents by hand, and then entering the data into an Excel format. The detailed data entries included the Kyo^rin library's catalogue number, name of text, other names of text, binding, number of pages, document measurements, the date of writing or publication (Japanese dates), Western calendar dating, whether they were copied or commissioned by the monks Gonkaku or Kakujin, the names of previous owners or collections, vermilion and sumi ink seals by previous owners (some indicating the documents' categorization), prefaces and postscripts, publishing information, records of the origin of texts, and other remarks. The covers, internal titles, records of the origin of the texts, and collection seals of Japanese-style books were recorded with a digital camera.
