论明代通俗丛书的文献学价值与不足

Discussing Literature Value and Deficiency about the Popular Series of Books of Ming Dynasty

明代通俗丛书是丛书发展到一定阶段为适应社会需要而出现的一个新的类型,它们具有丛书的价值和功用,在保存文献、资于校勘辑佚和提供研究史料方面具有重要意义。明代通俗丛书虽然也存在改窜和校勘不精的缺点,然而瑕不掩瑜,其在中国文献发展史上的影响和特殊的价值应得以重视,并给予深入的开掘和利用。

The populor series of books of Ming Dynasty have defects, but we must attach importance to their exceptive value and influ-ence of philological history in China, and further deepen the research on literature history.
