- Scope and Content
This file contains a book by Marega and his research notes, as well as mass-published books that he collected. A22.1 consists of the second volume of his collection of Bungo Christian historical materials, research notes, correspondence, and more. A22.2 are mass-published books spanning from the Edo period (1603–1868) to the Meiji period (1868–1912). They include Seiyō jita ochiboshū 政要地方落穂集, Naigai jijō 内外事情, the second book of the first volume of Suetsumu hana すへ摘花, the twelfth volume of Seidan waka midori 清談和歌翠, Shunshoku yamato damashii 春色大和魂 (two vols.), Onna shisho geimonzue 女四書芸文図会 (four copies), and volumes one to ten of Geishū itsukushima jinja zue 藝州厳島神社図会. In these we find Marega’s book ownership stamp and notes, as well as items apparently used as bookmarks. On the front and back inside cover of Naigai jijō we find the name of its former owner: “Purchased on an auspicious day in June 1885. Property of Sakuma Isaburō, resident of Yachi, Nakakanbara District, Echigo Province.” In A22.3 we find copies of a 1780 Miyako meisho zue 都名所図会. Six were published by Osaka’s Kawachiya Tasuke, and six by Kyoto’s Yoshinoya Tamehachi. On these as well are Marega’s book ownership stamp and notes.
