何についての本か
『日本書紀』第一巻。七二〇年成立の日本の年代記、W・G・アストン英訳。神代から初期の天皇までを扱う。
背景と歴史
二巻のうち、こちらのほうが神話的であり、それゆえ歴史として読むには最も慎重を要する。天地の分かれるところから始まり、その年代が検証可能な何ものとも合致しない治世へと降ってゆく。朝廷の命によって編まれ、漢文で書かれた。なお、本目録ではこの同じ本文が誤ってもう一度、著者名「古事記」のもとに掲載されている。『古事記』はこれとは別の、より古い書物である。
これは編集上の背景であり、引用できる典拠ではありません。作品本文の一節とは異なり、これらの記述はコーパスで検証できません。

Chamberlain and Satow’ have been placed under frequent contribution, and for the latter part of the work, the scholarly German translation of the Wzhongz, by Dr. Florenz, has been of the greatest possible assistance.…
