Ietada's Diary

Japanese: 家忠日記 - いえただにっき

This is a 7-volume diary that covers the period from 1577 to 1594 when Matsudaira Ietada served as an aide to Tokugawa Ieyasu. It details the activities of Ieyasu and other feudal lords, as well as the lives of the samurai of the time. There are several copies in the National Archives of Japan and elsewhere. The published version is included in the Bunka Daigaku Shishi Sosho. There is also the Ietada Diary Supplement and Addition (25 volumes) compiled by Ietada's grandson Tadafuyu, which is based on the Ietada Diary but adds additions to the period before Bunroku 3 and adds the period from 1596 onwards, covering the period up to 1616 when Ieyasu died. It was the first to compile the historical facts related to the founding of the Tokugawa clan, but compared to the Ietada Diary, it is of little historical value.

Japanese:

松平家忠が徳川家康の側近として仕えた天正5 (1577) 年から文禄3 (1594) 年までを記した日記。7巻。家康をはじめ諸大名の動きや当時の武士の生活を詳しく記録する。国立公文書館そのほかに諸本が伝わる。刊本は『文科大学史誌叢書』所収。ほかに家忠の孫忠冬が編纂した『家忠日記増補追加』 (25巻) があるが，これは『家忠日記』を根本として，文禄3年以前を増補し，慶長1 (1596) 年以降を追加して家康の死んだ元和2 (1616) 年までを記す。徳川氏の創業関係史実をまとめたものとしては最初のものであるが，『家忠日記』と比較して，史料的には価値が希薄である。
