Flugblatt (English spelling) [Germany]

Japanese: フルークブラット（英語表記）Flugblatt[ドイツ]

It means flyer. Originally, it referred to flyers or pamphlets called Flugschrift, which were issued in Europe in the late 15th and 16th centuries to convey single news items such as wars or natural disasters. They were often sold on the streets. They function somewhat similarly to Japanese woodblock prints, and were one of the precursors to newspapers that were published periodically. They were published in various European countries, including France (where they were called canards) and Spain, but most were produced by German printers. Later, printers such as Michael Freiherr von Aitzing of Cologne published many Flugblatts between 1588 and 1593, and at the same time published summaries of major events every six months in the form of Relatio Historica.

Japanese:

ビラの意。元来は15世紀末～16世紀のヨーロッパで，戦争，天変地異など単独のニュースを伝えるために発行されたビラやパンフレットFlugschriftをさす。多く街頭で呼び売りされた。日本の瓦版とある程度類似した機能をもち，定期的に発行される新聞の先駆形態の一つである。フランス(カナールcanardと称される)，スペインなどヨーロッパ各国で出されたが，ドイツの印刷業者の手になるものが最も多い。時期が下れば，ケルンの印刷者アイツィングMichael Freiherr von Aitzingのように1588‐93年の間に多くのフルークブラットを出し，同時に半年単位で主要な事件の要約を《レラティオ･ヒストリカRelatio Historica》として刊行するものも現れた。
