【Summary】
A hybrid symposium in English will be held to discuss the Catholic missionary document fragments discovered at the Bibliothèque de Toulouse (the Toulouse Library) in 2024, by the GJS-ERI Supported Project “Analysis of Catholic Missionary Document Fragments Discovered at the Bibliothèque de Toulouse”. These fragments were used as reinforcement materials in the binding of Manuale ad Sacramenta Ministranda, a ritual handbook printed by the Jesuit mission press in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1605.

This symposium will present the latest research findings on a leaf from Agnus Dei no kuriki no shidai (Virtues of Agnus Dei), indulgence certificates in Spanish and Portuguese, the manuscript of the Vocabulário da Lingoa de Japam (the Japanese-Portuguese dictionary, printed in Nagasaki between 1603 and 1604), and the proof sheets of Manuale ad Sacramenta Ministranda.
