| Research Abstract |
In 1993, we started our study from criticization and Romanization of the text of "Erdeni tunumal neretu sudur orusiba" and drew up a part of Japanese translation. In 1994, we were mainly engaged in examining the translation and putting interpretation on difficult terms and sentences in the text. Based on these works, we completed a preliminary draft of translation and notes in 1995. As we decided to publish the result of this study, so that in 1996, together with appllying to Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (Grant-in -Aid for Publication Scientific Research Results), we continued to fully reexamine the Romanization, translation and annotation. Getting granted in the following year, 1997, we drew up the preface, indexes, chronological table and bibliography. Our result, named "Altan qagammaan u tugammauji" (this was finally recognized through our investigation as the original title of the text) was publishied from Kazama-Shobo in March of 1998. We are convinced that our criticization of the text and intepretation on the difficult terms and sentences, especially on the Buddhist ones, surpass any precedent studies. At the same time, our study made it clearer that "Altan qagammaan u tugammauji" describes the expeditionary career of the king and the introduction of the Buddhism to Mongolia rather based on historical facts, which differs from other Mongolian chronicles after the 17th century including many mythical factors. It also casted new light on some important themes on history of Mongolia such as the transition of Mongol-Ming relations in the 16th century and the spread of the Tibetan Buddhism among the Mongolian people.
