| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this project is to research and investigate comprehensively old catalogs in all over Japan. It is of great importance to investigate and understand a variety of "the catalogs of books" systematically and comprehensively, which have been edited from ancient to modern, because we could not only investigate the history of books which were enjoyed and introduced at each period, but could understand the culture at each period, as well.
We made the register on locations of about 2,000 catalogs, by investigating the location and the amount of old catalogs, including catalogs on original manuscripts which had been already lost or scattered, and by supplementing every year.

Besides, we made an effort to collect unregistered original manuscripts circulated in the world of old books.
Besides, based on collected paper-printed photocopies, we analyzed the catalogs by concentrating the expertise of each researcher, shared the mutual understandings through presentations, and made clear how each catalog has been copied and transmitted. We compared the catalogs, and finally succeeded in elucidating how they had been made and identifying those catalogs. Less
