Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to analyze the usage of Latin educatio in the 15th and 16th centuries, focusing especially on the translational correspondence between Greek, Latin, and Western languages. The results of this research are as follows. One of the results of this study is that it is possible to point out the first appearance of French education in the 15th century as a translation from Latin works. It is also an achievement that the medieval pedagogical discourse before that time was organized around the key vocabulary of "disciplina" rather than "educatio," and that St. Victor's Hugo's "De institutione novitiorum" can be presented as a good example of this. In the Latin tradition since ancient times, the two words "educatio" and "disciplina" have represented incompatible worlds, but in the early modern period, the two words became intermingled, and gradually the word "educatio" was being used as "disciplina" to describe a fluid lexical matrix.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

希語―羅語―西欧諸語間の訳語対応に注目する本研究によって、従来、希語パイデイアが羅語educatioとは無縁であり、専らdisciplinaによって羅語訳され、その趨勢は中世まで変わらなかった点が確認された点は学術的意義を有する。そのことはまた、中世にeducationの観念がなかったとするアリエスの指摘とその反論に対し、語彙史研究という新たな角度から再考を促す意義をも有する。そしてeducationを学校における知育・徳育と結びつける現代の固定観念が、15~16世紀の翻訳語彙の流動化に由来するという研究成果は、現代社会の教育観を歴史的に相対化し、あらたな視座を啓く意義を有するものである。
