持渡书在中日书籍史上的意义——以《戌番外船持渡书大意书》为说

The Significance of the “Books on Sale” on the Book Trade History between China and Japan

公元1753年一南京船漂着于日本八丈岛,船上带有441种中国书籍。这些书籍的内容被写成《戌番外船持渡书大意书》,成为一份重要的书籍史研究资料。本文以《大意书》作为例证,分析了清乾隆时期中日书籍交流情况,并进而探索大意书内容在中国目录学与版本学研究方面的重要意义,从而建议有计划地进行江户时代持渡书书目、大意书与中国公私书目、及今日馆藏书目的比较研究,以扩大书籍史的研究范围并提高其水平。

A Chinese ship was cast away on the coast of the Hachijo-jima Island in 1753 with 441 kinds of Chinese books on board. These books were compiled by Japanese scholars into a research digest entitled Dai Yi Sho （ The Digest of the Books on Sale from China ）, which is of significance for the study of the book trade history. Taking Dai Yi Sho as a case study, this paper examines the book trade between China and Japan in the Qianlong regnal period, and further investigates into its influence on the Chinese study of bibliotheca. This paper suggests that in order to expand the research scope of the history of books and to improve the research methodology, a comparative study should be carried out among the bibliography of ＂books on trade＂ in the Edo Period, the public and private bibliotheca of the book collections in the past, and the library bibliotheca of today＇s China.
