『新羅之記録』は，中世・近世初期の蝦夷地（北海道）の様子を今日に伝えている唯一の史料である．明治後期から北方領域を研究する歴史家は，必ず使用してきた史料であり，その重要性は今日でも変わらない．『新羅之記録』は，貴重な史料ではあるが，編纂者が近世期の蝦夷地の大名である松前氏の一族，景広であることから，松前氏の蝦夷地統治が歴史的に正統性を持つように，故意に史実を解釈しているのではないかと指摘されている．それ故，『新羅之記録』自身の史料研究が不可欠であるが，今まで行われてこなかった．小稿では，『新羅之記録』の写本を収集し，書誌事項を明らかにし，簡単ではあるが分類整理を行った．その結果，近代に写本が多く作られ，流布したことが判明した．また，簡略ではあるが写本の系統がみえてきた．更に内容まで踏み込んでの検討が必要ではあるが，その前段階の研究を行ったものである．

There are only a few studies written about the Choshu War at the end of the Tokugawa period from the view point of political history. The War finally deprived the Bakufu of its influence, and should be recognized as an important event in the political process between 1864 and 1866. It has been generally understood as a war between the Bakufu and Choshu, but one of the major purposes was to punish Choshu as traitors to the imperial court in Kyoto. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the war as a political affair involving the court, the Bakufu and the clans. In this paper the author analyzes the process of Shogun Tokugawa Iemochi's departure from Edo on June 16, 1865 in order to attack Choshu, for the purpose of viewing the war as the result of contradiction and opposition in the form of government at that time. He conculdes that the Shogun's departure was created by political conflict among the court, the Bakufu and the clans, and also had another purpose to hold a meeting between the Shogun and the Emperor in Kyoto. It was Choshu that legitimized that Shogun'sdeparture. On the other hand, the Hitotsubashi, Aizu and Kuwana clans, which promoted political cooperation between the court and the Bakufu, thought that a meeting between the Shogun and the Emperor would be effective and urgent. They persuaded the court to approve the Shogun's departure meeting with the Emperor in Kyoto. The policy toward the ChoShu would be decided by the form of government. It would also produce a great effect on the Bakufu and the form of government.
