胡凤丹父子的目录学成就

Achievements of Hu Fengdan and His Son in Bibliography

胡凤丹父子为清末著名刻书家和藏书家,他们穷一生精力刊刻的《金华丛书》、《金华丛书书目提要》、《续金华丛书》及《金华经籍志》,不仅对保存金华地方文献作出了不朽贡献,而且在目录体系建构方面也有独特建树。特别是胡氏父子为刊刻之书所作的题解,考证作者生平、叙述学术源流、辨别书的真伪并对其内容进行分析评价,有较高的史料价值。

Hu Fengdan （1828 -1889） and his son Hu Zongmao （ca 1867 -1934） were famous publishers and book collectors in the late Qing dynasty （ 1644 - 1911 ） , whose lifelong efforts for the publication of a series of books, including Books of Jinhua, A Sequel to Books of Jinhua, Books of Jinhua ： A Bibliography, and A Record of Classics in Jinhua, have not only contributed much to the protection of the local documents in Jinhua but also distinguished the Hus by their construction of a distinctive bibliographic framework. The commentaries written by the Hus in the books they printed, which painstakingly explore the authors＇ life stories, introduce the academic origins and evolutions, confirm the authenticity of the copies, and analyze and comment on the contents, prove of particular value to historical studies.
