〔報告〕「独々涅烏斯(ドドネウス)草木譜」原本の科学的調査(2)

抄録

Cruydt-Boeck is a herbal written by the Belgian naturalist Rembertus Dodonaeus. We are conducting scientific analysis on an original copy of its second edition in Dutch (published in Leiden, The Netherlands in 1618 and now owned by Waseda University Library), which was imported to Japan in the Edo era and separated into seven volumes and then bound in western-style. In this report, the results of X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) on the endpapers and attennated total reflection (ATR) analysis on the binding thread and supporter are presented. By XRF, we found that the endpaper was treated with some arsenic compound. However, it is unknown when and why this was done. It was made clear by ATR that the binding thread and supporter were made of hemp possibly produced in Japan.
