• 20世紀中葉に蔵書形成された米国の日本図書は、学術的・組織的に明確な意図の下に収集されたものが多い。米国政府の対亜政策との関連。
• It seems that many of the Japanese collections in the United States
were assembled in the middle of the 20th century, clearly collected foracademic and catalog purposes.
• The collection includes a number of historical Japanese medicalbooks primarily collected after WWII; it is possible that the collection
was established as part of the East Asian policy enacted by the USgovernment.

• 19世紀欧州の日本書の収集ーシーボルト日本コレクション• 19th Century European Japanese and Chinese Collections―Seibold’s Japanese Collection（Leiden University etc.）• シーボルトの収集図書は従来の日本に滞在した欧州人の収書に比べて体系的であり、かつホフマンが分類整理して目録化したことによって、日本研究の資源としての意義を持った。
• Seibold‘s collection is rather consistent than of Europeans collection
who stayed in Japan until then. Hoffman classified and cataloged thecollection intended to serve as a resource for Japanese studies.
• フランスには中国研究のための蔵書があったが、日本研究のためのコレクションはまだなかった。
• At this point in time , there were already collections of Chinese texts
dedicated to Chinese studies in France, but no such Japanesecollection yet existed. Leiden Siebold collection was the mostcomplete catalogue of Japanese books in Europe before the openingof Japan.

• The author visited the Lille City Library to research onJapanese and Chinese classics. These books were part ofthe collection found in storage belonging to Léon-LouisLucien Prunol de Rosny (1837-1914), professor of the firstJapanese language course in France. Rosny is known as apioneer of Japanese Studies in Europe, though his efforts
are not fully appreciated in modern day.
• Yorozu Oda and Bernard Frank ‘s criticism of Léon de Rosny.
• Prof. Peter Kornicki published the catalog of JapaneseClassics of Léon de Rosny’s collection (1994); as thecollection gained some renown it became clear that Rosny's
Japanese book collection and the Japanese teachingmaterials compiled by Léon de Rosny are closely related.

included over 500 Chinese books, gifted to him by histeacher Stanislas Julien (1797-1873). Furthermore, it isbelieved that some books from Julien's teacher, Jean-Pierre
Abel-Rémusat (1788-1832), are also included, and should bevalued as part of academic history. However, the catalog ofChinese books has not been published, and has not yet notbeen widely recognized.

• For the past 1,800 years or so in world history, Chinese literature has
been widely read in the west and the east.
• Due to the evolution and differentiation of subsequent research, thedistance between modern Chinese study and Japanese study has
increased more.
• In recent years, as the presence of China has expanded worldwide, it
is important to reconsider the significance of Chinese books in theEast Asian world.
• However, it is also important to consider the regional differences oftraditional literature written in Chinese, Japanese, Korean,Vietnamese, and so on.
• 1800年前後の世界史の動揺のなか、中国書は東西共通の関心をもって読まれた。その後、中国研究と日本研究の距離はかつてよりも広がった。現在、地域差への配慮を備えた東アジアへの理解が重要になっており、東アジア各地の漢文文化への見直しは急務である。
