刘龙田本《三国志演义》刊刻时间考

Investigation of Printing Time of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms Published by LiuLongtian

随着《三国志传》的版本意义在《三国志演义》研究中逐渐被发掘,"志传"版本的研究成为《三国志演义》研究的突破口。刘龙田本是其中较为关键的本子,但刘本刊刻年代是一个很多专家忽略而且模糊化的点。笔者就这一问题进行了一些资料的搜集和整理,对刘龙田本的刊刻时间有了一个初步界定,尤其是将刘本的插图和版式放在建安本的演变过程中来论证。刘龙田本和余象斗本、郑少垣本,汤学士本在插图的刊刻上有诸多联系,笔者推断出刘龙田《新锓全像通俗演义三国志传》的刊刻时间应该是万历三十七年,也就是1609年。
