| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Old English Genesis is the sole illustrated Anglo-Saxon poem. In full appreciation of this unique concurrent execution of visualization and versification in a single manuscript, this multidisciplinary work explores the pictorial (Volume 1) and the metrical (Volume 2) organization of this illuminated verse narrative from both synchronic-structural and diachronic-comparative perspectives. While, autonomously conceived and independently implemented, each volume is solidly embedded in the respective scholarly tradition and pursues its own inherent disciplinary concerns and problematics, vigorous formal and cognitive reasoning and theorizing run commonly through both. By way of mutual corroboration and integration, the twin volumes eventually converge on the hypothesis that the earliest portion of the extant Old English Genesis (verse lines 1 through 966) derived from the corresponding episodes of an illustrated Touronian Old Saxon Genesis in both pictorial and metrical terms.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
オックスフォード大学ボードリアン図書館所蔵Junius 11 写本所収の古英語詩『創世記』は系譜の異なる古英詩創世記A並びに Bが一体となった特異な作品であるが、それに加えて、多くの挿絵が施されている点でも古英詩には他に例を見ない。そこで本研究では、このユニークな作品の韻文としてのアイデンティティを構成する韻律と装飾写本としてのアイデンティティを決定づけている挿絵を共時的・通時的観点から統合的に考察した。到達した結論・仮説として、Junius 11写本成立（１０００年頃）の基層として古サクソン語で書かれた挿絵付き創世記の断章が９世紀半ばにトゥールで制作されていた蓋然性が高いことが判明した。
