| Research Abstract |
Chuji Ikegami conducted his survey ahead of the main research group. In Paris, he pursued historical investigation at the Bibliotheque National, the Cluny Medieval Museum, the Louvre Museum. In Vienna, he researched on matters related to the sketchbook of Villard de Honnecourt at the History Museum and the Academy of Art Museum.
In late August, the main research group arrived in Paris. The group traveled to the site of Villard de Honnecourt's workplace and the headquarters of the Villard de Honnecourt Association where exchange of materials and information were carried out. In Reims, A copy of the impression made at the Cathedral during the survey of 1984 was donated. In Germany, it was possible to view and obtain copies of the Medieval palimpsest drawings at the National Museum in Nuremburg and at the City Archives and Museum of Ulm. In Czech, the cathedral by P.Palula was surveyed, the Cultural Section was visited, and some churches that possess rib vaults similar to those of Villard de Honnecourt's were surveyed. In Slovakia, the Saint Elizabeth Cathedral was measured. In Hungary, the Budapest Cultural Bureau and the National Museum were visited. In Austria, a survey of old architectural drawings was done at the Art Academy Archives. In Switzerland, the drawings of the Saint Gallen Monastery were studied. In Lausanne, it was possible to view the restoration of the rose window drawn by Villard. On return to Paris, it was propitious to meet the director of the Cluny Mediaeval Museum - A.E. Brandenburg. It was also opportune to speak to the architectural drawing expert - R. Bechmann.
Part of the materials and information collected are being kept and studied at the University Museum and Archives. A report is being prepared by Fujimoto,Nishida. These results are to be published in the scholarly journals.
