Sanjo Nishie Honsema Koromo Monogatari Chushaku

[Machine Translation] The "Narrow Gown Tale" was established in the late Heian period (794-1185), and there are many copies and a vast number of variants. The Sanjonishi manuscript is thought to have been copied during the Muromachi period by Sanjonishi Kojo, the son of Sanjonishi Sanetaka, who himself copied and annotated many classical works. The text is written in the language of the Heian period, which was difficult to understand in the Muromachi period, but was replaced by the language of the time of copying (Muromachi period), and the manuscript shows an attitude of copying far removed from respect for the original source. This book is based on the Sanjo Naike version, and includes an outline and notes to facilitate reading and understanding of the contents of the tale, as well as a discussion of the text that addresses unique differences and similarities. This book plays an important role in understanding not only the relationship between the various editions of "The Tale of the Narrow Girdle" but also the copying of the text and the attitude toward its enjoyment during the Muromachi period (1333-1573).

平安時代後期に成立し、多数の諸本・膨大な異文が存在する『狭衣物語』。三条西家本は、三条西実隆の息子で自身も多数の古典籍の書写や注釈をおこなっていた三条西公条によって、室町時代に書写されたと考えられる写本である。室町時代においては理解が難しくなっていた平安時代の言葉を、書写当時(室町時代)の言葉に置き換えた本文を持ち、そこには原典を尊重するという意識とは遠く離れた書写態度が透かし見える。本書は三条西家本をもとに校訂本文を作成し、物語内容の読解を促す梗概と注、特異な異同を取りあげる本文考を付すとともに、読みやすく充実した二十のコラムを配置。『狭衣物語』諸本の関係性のみならず、室町時代の書写と享受態度を考えるうえで、重要な役割を果たす一冊。
