| Research Abstract |
This research dealt with Maeno Ryotaku(1723 -1803), a physician and Dutch scholar, in order to explicate the actual circumstances and historical significance of the early Dutch Studies in Edo period. In the result, after collecting and analyzing Maeno’s works and related materials including Dutch books , it became clear that he was the pioneer not only in Western medicine but also in the studies of Dutch language and Russian history, and that he was more of a kind of linguist than a physician. Moreover I obtained new information concerning the relation between Maeno’s translation works and the shogunate’s foreign policy. So I could try to revise the existing biography of Maeno Ryotaku.
