| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By examining as many copies of Shakespearean four folios with annotations inscribed by 17th century readers/users as possible, this study has found several characteristics which seem to be there in common among them and constructed a provisional context of the 17th century readership. This provisional context, in turn, has made it available to contextualize the unique example of the reading style the Meisei Copy of the First Folio (MR774) exhibits.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の成果は学問的には書物史、読書史、とりわけ、初期近代のシェイクスピア受容史にとって、実証的研究としての意義が大きい。書き込みの転写資料の公開が進めば、より貴重な基礎資料を提供することになる。
社会的には、人の営みにおける文学の果たす役割とその持ち得る意味という時代を超えた普遍のテーマを、歴史的にたどることで、「今」を理解することに寄与するという意義が見いだせる。
