《安徽通志稿艺文考·书类》订补

Corrections and Amendments to the Book Category of Arts and Literature Survey of Anhui General Records Manuscripts

《安徽通志稿艺文考》(以下简称《艺文考》)区别于一般方志艺文志的最主要之处,即是凡所收录之书,均备有提要。再者,为减轻提要撰写工作之繁重,《安徽通志稿艺文考》在收书上重在求精而不求全。今以其《书类》为例,发现提要中多处存在人名、地名、书名、卷数及其他具体内容之错误;与光绪《重修安徽通志·艺文志》所收书相比,该考虽有补益,但遗漏较多,不利于皖人《书类》作品的全面呈现。为更好发挥《艺文考》之学术作用,有必要对其订讹补缺。

The most important difference between the Arts and Literature Survey of Anhui General Records Manuscripts and ordinary arts and literature section of local records is that it has abstracts to all books included in it. Moreover,to reduce the heavy workload of writing abstracts,the Arts and Literature Survey of Anhui General Records Manuscripts prefers quality to quantity in terms of book inclusion standards. Taking its Book Category as an example,we discover that the abstracts contain many errors related to names of people,places,and books and the other specific contents such as number of volumes.In comparison with books included in the Arts and Literature Records of Guangxu Revised Anhui General Records,though helpful,the Book Category contains many omissions not conducive to comprehensive presentation of the works of Anhui writers. To make better academic application of the Arts and Literature Survey of Anhui General Records Manuscripts,it is necessary to make corrections and amendments.
