...When Robert Proctor (1868-1903), librarian at the British Museum, applied the natural history research methods of these pioneers to return the approximately 8,000 incunabula (early published books) in the museum's collection to their corresponding years, places, and printers, bibliography was said to have almost completed its function. When the University of Oxford published Ronald McKerrow's (1872-1940) "Introduction to Bibliography for Literary Students" in the autumn of 1927, a lively debate on the purpose and content of bibliography unfolded in the weekly "Curatorial Supplement" of The Times for about six months, which helped to clarify the nature of bibliography. Thus, at least in Britain, bibliography is defined as "the study of the material transmission of literary and other documents, with the ultimate aim of solving, so far as the material means of transmission can be effected, problems of origin, history, and text" (W. W. Gregg's lecture "The Present State of Bibliography" at the British Bibliographical Society, October 1930). *Some of the terminology that mentions "McKerrow, R." is listed below.

…これら先覚者の博物学的研究法を適用して,大英博物館司書プロクターRobert Proctor(1868‐1903)が,同館所蔵の約8000冊のインクナブラ(初期刊本)を,それぞれその占むべき年代と場所と印刷者とに還元したとき,書誌学はほぼその機能を完成したといえる。1927年秋オックスフォード大学がマッケローRonald McKerrow(1872‐1940)の《文学研究者のための書誌学入門》を刊行したとき,《タイムズ》紙の週刊〈学芸付録〉に書誌学の目的や内容について盛んな論戦がおよそ半年にわたって展開され,書誌学の性格をはっきりさせるに役だった。こうして,少なくともイギリスにおける書誌学は〈文学的ならびにその他の文献の,物質的伝達を研究し,その究極の目的は,伝達にさいしての物質的手段を細密周到に検討して達しえられるかぎり,起源,歴史,および本文に関する諸問題を解決するもの〉と定義されている(1930年10月,イギリス書誌学会におけるW.W.グレッグの講演〈書誌学の現状〉)。… ※「McKerrow,R.」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
