项目摘要

The English book culture from 14th to 16th centuries has been investigated through the analysis of textual as well paratextual elements (e.g. illustration, page layout) comprising a book. Particular researches have been conducted on the following 3 points.1.Several MS religious anthologies of the 15th century have been compared and analyzed in terms of its contents and the use of illustrations. It has been shown that an intimate relationship exists between text and image, reflecting the compiler's own reading of a particular text and testifying to his close involvement in the editorial process.2.The study of the Books of Hours has been enlarged to include the Kalender of Shepherdes, published repeatedly in the 15th and 16th centuries. Through the comparative analysis of its English editions, its process of compilation has been discussed in relation to the French source materials as are found in the contemporary Horae and 15th-century MSS, thereby tracing the process of its dissemination and transformation from 15h-c. Northern France to 16th-c. England.3.Popular books as discussed above provide didactic narratives and religious motifs to the contemporary literary texts, such as romance, travel writings, and the visions of the afterlife. Through the discussion of such works as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, it has been shown that the precise knowledge of the popularity of such motifs can contribute to a more historical interpretation of the literature of late medieval England.Through the study of the book culture of late medieval England in relation to publishing and translating activities in Northern France, we can see that a number of the ‘popular' books of the time are illustrated. The popularity of the images in other media also further enhanced the popularity of such books. This aspect of popularity can be studied further through the analysis of the actual reading practice of the time.

通过对构成书籍的文本和副文本元素（例如插图、页面布局）的分析，对 14 世纪至 16 世纪的英国书籍文化进行了以下三点的具体研究：1.几部 MS 宗教选集。从内容和插图的使用方面对15世纪的作品进行了比较和分析，结果表明文本和图像之间存在着密切的关系，反映了编者自己对特定文本的解读。 2.对《时辰之书》的研究范围扩大到包括15世纪和16世纪反复出版的《牧羊人日历》。通过对其英文版本的比较分析，了解其过程。我们结合当代《Horae》和 15 世纪 MSS 中发现的法国原始资料讨论了编纂过程，从而追溯了其从 15 世纪法国北部到公元 15 世纪的传播和转变过程。 16-c. 英格兰.3. 上面讨论的流行书籍通过对高文爵士和来世的讨论等作品，为当代文学文本提供了说教叙事和宗教主题。绿骑士已经表明，对此类主题流行程度的精确了解可以有助于对中世纪晚期英国文学进行更具历史性的解释。通过对中世纪晚期英国书籍文化与出版和翻译活动的关系的研究在北部在法国，我们可以看到一些当时“流行”的书籍的图像在其他媒体上的流行也进一步提高了此类书籍的流行程度，这方面的流行可以通过对这些书籍的分析来进一步研究。当时的实际阅读练习。
