台北故宫博物院藏本《榕城二集》考略

A Textual Study of Rong Cheng Er Ji Collected in the Palace Museum in Taipei

台北故宫博物院藏有明末文学家、学者、曾任揭阳县令张明弼的诗文别集《榕城二集》,将其列为前北平图书馆明善本书。该书为明崇祯刊本,清代乾隆年间修《四库全书》时被列为禁书,系劫后孑遗、珍贵孤本。该书先为清末贵阳陈氏收藏,后转归吴兴蒋氏传书堂,1932年为前北平图书馆购藏,抗战爆发后辗转寄藏于美国国会图书馆,20世纪60年代随寄藏该馆的一批前北平图书馆明善本书运抵台湾。该书保存总体完好,对研究潮汕历代书刻出版史等潮汕历史文化研究有着极其珍贵的文物价值。
