| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study was based on an interest in the original source(s) of `Esopo no Fabulas', and primarily reexamined Aesop's fable collections around 16th-century Europe.
The main results of the reseach are as follows: (1) We investigated the nature of early modern printed editions of Phaedrus' collection, particularly the so-called `editio princeps', and explored features unique to that period. (2) We analyzed the relationship between illustrations and text in the 1610 edition of Aesop's collection (known as the Nevelet edition), and revealed complex dynamics influenced by publishing practices of the period.
These results clarified (though partly) on aspects and diffusion of printed Aesop collections, especially during the late 15th century to the early 17th century.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の成果は、16世紀頃のヨーロッパにおける主にギリシア語・ラテン語による印刷本イソップ集の諸相と伝播の様態の一端を明らかにするものである。この時期のイソップ集は15世紀後半の初期印刷本に比して注目度が低いが、近代への展開の基盤でありながら近代とは異なる特徴を持つものとして、改めて検討されるべき対象であることを明確にした。
また、本研究で扱った写本と印刷本、挿絵と本文テクストの関係等は、イソップ集に限らず、近世印刷本を検討する上で重要な要素となることが想定される。その点で、本研究の成果は、多分野多領域に関わる有意義な視点を供しうるものと考える。
