单卷本《明史断略》作者考辨

On the Author of Sporadic Records of the History of the Ming Dynasty

钱谦益身为一代史学宗师,虽然没有留下一部建文史,但通过他文集和史著中有关建文朝的零星记载,仍得以管窥他的建文史观:秉持靖难史观,相信建文逊国出亡、诸臣从亡。单卷本《明史断略》的建文史观与此相左,记载的人物和事件也多与钱氏不同,是以推断其并非出自钱谦益之手。

As a great master in historical field, Qian Qianyi did not write a book which was related to Emperor Jianwen Period. But through the fragmentary record about Emperor Jianwen in his collected works and historical works, we can still find his view about Jianwen history: to advocate the Jingnan Event view, to believe Emperor Jianwen abdicated the throne and fled from the capital Nanking with some officials. However,the Jianwen history views and the record and judgment on some specific personages and events of Sporadic Records of the History of the Ming Dynasty are different from Qian Qianyi, for these reasons, I can conclude that it is not authored by him.
