| Research Abstract |
The purpose of our project is reading a manuscript book of 15th century England, supposed to be made at Canterbury, preserved in the Central Library of University of Tokyo. The book, gifted to the University by Mr. B. H. Streeter in 1931, was written on 90 vellum leaves.
The theme of manuscript is the "ars epistolandi" of 15th century and contains many letters of famous humanists of the period (Poggio Bracciolini, Guarino da Verona, etc.). We have made some new points clear from the analysis of the manuscript and we have found some letters written by Poggio and Guarino which have not ever been included in any printed book.
One of our conclusions is that the tradition of mediaeval "ars dictaminis", typical in Cicero, had influenced on the "manual of letter-writing" of 15th century because of the similarity of the structure and of the norms.
