Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の意義は、未整理ゆえ“死蔵”状態にある宝珠院所蔵資料を、将来的な文化財保存をも見通しつつ調査・整理・分析・紹介することにより、研究資源の整備と提供をおこなうことを主眼とする。それに加え、宝珠院を起点とする中世から近代に至る諸寺社・人物のネットワーク（寺社圏）が明らかとなり、また、如意宝珠信仰・弘法大師信仰・天神信仰といった、個別の寺院や地域を越えた思想史的研究や、所蔵される仏書以外の諸資料や文化人との交流から、文化史的研究に資する成果が期待できる。
