《抱朴子外篇》宋本考论

On the Song Edition of Outer Chapter of BaoPuZi

宋本《抱朴子外篇》今实物无存。但是,根据相关的史籍我们可以判定,宋本《抱朴子外篇》存在十卷、二十卷、三十卷、五十卷等多种版本,并且有一定佚亡,但是其基本内容应该与今本相差无几。宋本《抱朴子外篇》趋向今本是比较明显的。

The Song edition Outer Chapter of BaoPuZi can not be found now. However, according to the related historical records we can judge that it had different versions, including ten volumes, or twenty volumes, or thirty volumes, or fifty volumes, some of which may be missing, yet its basic contents should not be different from the current edition. There is an obvious tendency of similarity between the Song edition Outer Chapter of BaoPuZi and the current edition.
