扬州大学图书馆馆藏许心武赠书考略

Textual Research of Xu Xinwu's Donated Books to Yangzhou University Library

许心武先生是当代著名水利专家和教育家,30年前将其近7 000册藏书全部捐赠给了扬州大学。我们在扬州大学图书馆古籍普查中,通过查访相关人员和查找一些文献,对许氏生平以及这批赠书的来龙去脉作了尽可能准确的考证,并分水利、文史、戏曲艺术三个学科类别列举一些颇具价值的古籍,以此纪念许心武先生诞辰120周年。

Mr. Xu Xinwu was a famous contemporary expert in the field of water conservancy and an educator, and he donated his own 7 000 books to Yangzhou University 30 years ago. During the census of ancient books at Yangzhou University Library, we visited some people, retrieved the relevant literature and made some textual research on Mr. Xu＇s whole life and the origin and effect of his donated books. Some valuable ancient books were listed in three subjects, namely water conservancy, literature and history, and traditional opera art. This arti- cle is one way to commemorate Mr. Xu＇s 120th birthday.
