TEI-Encoded Critical Text Dataset of the Engishiki 延喜式校訂テキストデータセット(TEI/XML)

This dataset provides a TEI/XML-encoded critically edited text of the Engishiki, an ancient Japanese legal and administrative code. Compiled in the 10th century, the Engishiki functioned as a procedural manual for government officials. It contains a wide range of information, including regional products across ancient Japan, shrines throughout the country, raw materials for court use, and offerings to deities. These records provide valuable insights into the environment, technology, daily life, and society of ancient Japan and East Asia. However, the extant manuscripts contain numerous transcription errors, and the text itself is often difficult to interpret. To facilitate broader use of this important source, the National Museum of Japanese History (Rekihaku) is developing a new critically edited text, along with modern Japanese and English translations, based on stemmatological research of manuscript lineages. This dataset contains only the TEI-encoded critical text. The modern Japanese and English translations are provided as separate datasets published simultaneously, each assigned its own DOI. The data can be browsed through the web interface provided by the National Museum of Japanese History:https://khirin-t.rekihaku.ac.jp/engishiki/本数据集提供了经批判性校勘的《延喜式》TEI/XML编码文本，《延喜式》是日本古代的法律与行政法典。 该书成书于10世纪，曾作为政府官员的行政程序手册发挥职能。其内容涵盖广泛，包括古代日本各地的物产、全国范围内的神社、宫廷用原材料以及祭祀神祇的供品等。此类记录为探究古代日本乃至东亚的环境、技术、日常生活与社会形态提供了极具价值的视角。 然而，现存手稿存在诸多转录错误，文本本身也往往难以解读。 为推动这一重要史料的更广泛应用，日本历史国立博物馆（Rekihaku）正基于手稿谱系的校勘学研究，开发全新的批判性校勘文本，并同步推出现代日语与英语译本。 本数据集仅包含经TEI编码的校勘文本，现代日语与英语译本将作为独立数据集同步发布，各自配有独立的数字对象标识符（DOI）。 用户可通过日本历史国立博物馆提供的网页界面浏览该数据集：https://khirin-t.rekihaku.ac.jp/engishiki/
