TEI-Encoded Modern Japanese Translation of the Engishiki 延喜式現代語訳データセット(TEI/XML)

This dataset provides a TEI/XML-encoded modern Japanese translation of the Engishiki. It is intended to support reuse across a range of fields, including premodern Japanese history, literary studies, religious studies, environmental history, and educational applications. As a resource that facilitates access to the original text, it is expected to be useful not only for specialists but also in teaching and broader dissemination contexts. The translation is aligned with a critically edited text based on stemmatological research and is structured to preserve correspondences with the original text. This enables parallel reading with the source text and supports analysis of lexical and interpretive transformations. This dataset contains only the modern Japanese translation. The critically edited text and the English translation are provided as separate datasets published simultaneously, each with its own DOI. The translation work is ongoing and may be revised and expanded as research progresses. It is expected that this dataset will promote a deeper understanding of the Engishiki and contribute to research and education on premodern Japan and East Asia.
