敦煌学史上的第一篇论文——敦煌学史随笔之一

The First Treatise in the History of Dunhuang Studies——Notes on the History of Dunhuang Studies(Ⅰ)

罗振玉《敦煌石室书目及发见之原始》最先以《呜呼祖国之文物》为题,分六次连载于1909年11月1日至11月11日的《民吁日报》,早于1909年11月7日才发表、且实为一篇学术报道的日本田中庆太郎《敦煌石室中的典籍》6天,实为敦煌学史的开山之作,标志着中国敦煌学历史的开始。

＂The Catalogue of the Documents from Dunhuang Stone Chamber and How They Were Dis- covered＂ is the first published paper to introduce the cache of historical documents discovered at Dunhuang. During its original publication this treatise was first entitled ＂Alas, Cultural Relics of the Motherland＂ and was divided into six parts and serialized in the Minyu Daily News from the 1st to the 11th of November in 1909, rather than in volume six of the 10th issue of Oriental Magazine published on the 25th of September, 1909 as is generally believed. As this publication date occurred six days before Japanese scholar Tanaka Keitaro published his essay ＂The Historical Documents from the Dunhuang Stone Chamber＂ on November 7 of the same year, it can now be determined to have been the first work in the history of Dunhuang Studies, and thus marks the beginning of Dunhuang Studies in China.
