岳麓秦简《为狱等状四种》卷册一的编联——依据简背划线和简背反印字迹复原卷轴原貌

The Structure of Manuscript 1 of the “Wei yu deng zhuang si zhong" from the Yuelu Academy Qin Slips—Reconstructing a Manuscript Roll on the Basis of ‘Verso Lines’ and ‘Verso Imprints of Writing’

岳麓书院藏秦简《为狱等状四种》的竹简背面上有两种现象:一、用刻刀或者墨笔划出的简背划线;二、简背反印字迹。以《状四种》卷册一为例,将论证对此两种现象的分析如何为复原卷册简序提供重要线索。竹简背面的分析不仅可以适用于科学考古发掘出土的竹简,而且也适用于来历不清的竹简。因为后者缺少在出土地点原来位置的信息,所以这两种简背现象的分析对复原后者简序更加有用。

The ＂Wei yu deng zhuang si zhong＂ from the Yuelu Academy collection of Qin slips exhibits two phenomena which are sometimes found on the verso of bamboo slip manuscripts, namely knife-carved or ink-drawn lines as well as mirror-inverted imprints of writing. Taking manuscript 1 of the ＂Zhuang si zhong＂ as an example it is demonstrated how an analysis of the two phenomena can provide additional evi- dence for the task of reconstructing the original structure of a manuscript roll. Such an analysis can be ap- plied to archaeologically excavated manuscripts but it is especially useful for those of unknown origin, where information on the original position of the slips at the burial site is scarce or completely unavailable.
