Mansai Jugō Nikki - Mansai Jugō Nikki

This is the diary of Sanboin Monzeki Mansai, the head priest of Daigoji Temple, who was deeply involved in the shogunate government and was highly trusted during the Muromachi period under three Shoguns, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Yoshimochi, and Yoshinori, and was sometimes called the "Black Robe Prime Minister." Currently, 11 volumes covering the years from 1411 (Oei 18) to 1422 (Oei 29) are kept in the National Diet Library, and 36 volumes covering the years from 1423 (Oei 30) to 1435 (Eikyo 7), the year of his death, are kept in Daigoji Temple, and all are handwritten. It contains detailed records of events related to the foundations of the shogunate, such as the succession of shoguns and kanrei (regent), and negotiations with the Kanto government, as well as religious and cultural events such as Buddhist ceremonies, Sarugaku, and Furyu, and is considered to be the most fundamental historical material of this period, but on the other hand, it is notable for having surprisingly few personal records about Mansai. It has been published in three volumes as "Kyoto Imperial University Literature University Series," and two volumes as "Zoku Gunsho Ruiju Houi," and the documents on the backs of the papers are currently being published as "Dai Nippon Komonjo Daigoji Monjo Besshu."

室町時代、将軍足利義満(あしかがよしみつ)・義持(よしもち)・義教(よしのり)3代にわたって厚い信任を受けて幕政に深くかかわり、「黒衣の宰相」とよばれたこともある醍醐寺座主(だいごじざす)三宝院門跡(さんぼういんもんぜき)満済の日記。現在1411年（応永18）から22年（同29）までの11巻が国立国会図書館に、23年（同30）から没年の1435年（永享7）までの36冊が醍醐寺に収蔵されており、すべて自筆である。将軍や管領(かんれい)の交替、関東府との交渉など幕政の根本にかかわるものから、法会(ほうえ)、猿楽(さるがく)、風流(ふりゅう)など宗教、文化に関する行事を克明に記録しており、この時代の根本史料の筆頭とされるが、逆に満済個人の私的な記事が意外に少ないのが特徴である。『京都帝国大学文科大学叢書(そうしょ)』3冊、『続群書類従補遺』2冊として刊行されているほか、『大日本古文書　醍醐寺文書別集』として、その紙背(しはい)文書が刊行中である。
