+This is a Japanese translation of the GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.
+
+Most of the GNU Emacs text editor is written in the programming
+language called Emacs Lisp.  You can write new code in Emacs Lisp and
+install it as an extension to the editor.  However, Emacs Lisp is more
+than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming
+language in its own right.  You can use it as you would any other
+programming language.
+
+Because Emacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special
+features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling
+files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on.  Emacs Lisp is
+closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands
+are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs,
+and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables.
+
+This manual describes Emacs Lisp, presuming considerable familiarity
+with the use of Emacs for editing.  (See The GNU Emacs Manual for this
+basic information.)  Generally speaking, the earlier chapters describe
+features of Emacs Lisp that have counterparts in many programming
+languages, and later chapters describe features that are peculiar to
+Emacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing.
+
+This is edition 2.5.
