Outline of Final Research Achievements

Research results are: About 800 palm-leaf manuscripts and parabikes in the U Pho Thi Librarydoma Library of Saddhamma-Jotika Monastery in Thaton, Myanmar, are photographed. We processed photos with a program developed by our team and uploaded e-books on web. Then we pubkished the catalog for these manuscripts that specifies the titles, authors and so on. We have provided a great deal of convenience for the future studies in this field.
In conjunction with the above-mentioned work, in order to contribute to the maintenance of these cultural assets in the future, we instructed the manuscript-handling technique to local lay group.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ミャンマー南部の特定の一僧院に注力してその蔵書の全体像を、カタログと電子ブック・データベースによって明らかにし、アクセスを容易にした。写本DBであればタイ・ラオスで先行例があり、文献資料を南方仏教史研究界に提供しようとする点では共通であるが、本研究の視野は将来の地域史研究に広がる。本研究の成果により、蔵書の構成・傾向を分析することで、20世紀初頭のこの地域で学僧にどのような教養が求められたかを研究する道が開かれた。
現地調査の際には現地の在家組織と密接に連携し、彼ら自身で写本を維持・伝承してゆく体制を強化した。ささやかながら国際的友好に資したものと考える。
