Outline of Final Research Achievements	Within the period, 34 workshops were conducted. Comprehensive and individual studies were also conducted on the Civil Code and Civil Procedure Code of the Ottoman Civil Code (Мecelle). Two books ([1] Actions, Evidence and Administration of Oath and Administration of Justice, [2] Pledges, Trust and Trusteeship) were published. It was found that the civil procedures defined by the Мecelle Code, previously said to have a limited impact, had a certain influence even after the new Code of Civil Procedure came into force. As a related achievement, a translation of the Egyptian Civil Code was published. Provisional translations of Agency, Settlement and Release and Admissions of the Мecelle were prepared and compared with the laws of Japan and other countries. These translations are to be as basic materials for further comparative legal studies. Conducted research on relevant historical materials abroad and received expert knowledge from foreign researchers.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	本研究は、イスラーム法や中東法研究において重要な意味を持つにも関わらず、研究の遅れているМ法典を、多種多様な専門の研究者のみならず、弁護士などの法実務家を交えた学際的な研究体制を構築することにより、比較法的、法制史的、社会史的観点から研究する点に特徴がある。また、М法典の翻訳や注釈を含む多言語テクストを用いて分析するという点においても、世界でも前例のない研究であり、近現代のイスラーム法研究に新展開をもたらすことが期待できる。
