Abstract: 本論文では，戦前日本の医師名簿を活用した実証研究を進めるための予備的分析として，明治42 年（1909 年）刊行の『日本杏林要覧』，および昭和17 年（1942 年）刊行の『日本医籍録』について，収録されている医師の網羅性と代表性を検証する．そして，これらの名簿の履歴情報を用いて戦前の医師の地理的移動を可視化する．検証の結果，『日本杏林要覧』は極めて網羅的であるのに対して，『日本医籍録』は開業医については一定の網羅性があるものの，地域や医師資格によって偏りがあることが明らかになった．また，明治期の医師は出身県で開業する比率が非常に高く，それに比べると昭和期の医師は大都市圏に移動する傾向が強いこともわかった．, In this study, we conduct a preparatory analysis aimed at facilitating empirical research that utilizes prewar Japan’s medical directories. First, we assess the comprehensiveness and representativeness of the physician listings in the Nihon Kyōrin Yōran published in 1909 (Meiji 42) and the Nihon Isekiroku published in 1942 (Shōwa 17), respectively. We then utilize the biographical information in these directories to visualize the geographical mobility of physicians before WWII. We find that the Nihon Kyōrin Yōran is highly comprehensive, whereas the Nihon Isekiroku exhibits a certain degree of comprehensiveness regarding private practitioners yet displays biases across regions and medical qualifications. Our analysis further reveals that physicians in the Meiji period had a high rate of practicing in their home prefectures, whereas those in the Shōwa period showed a greater mobility.
