《书叙指南》作者及版本考述

A Study on the Author and Editions of Shuxu Zhinan

《书叙指南》是北宋末任广编撰的一本类书,从古书里摘抄词句,供书启尺牍写作之用。此书的现存版本有很多,以嘉靖六年黄景星刻本为最早,《百家名书》本、《四库全书》本的版本来源则可以追溯至宋代,其文字与嘉靖六年刻本互有优劣,有很高的版本价值。在清代刻本中,《墨海金壶》本因采用多种版本进行校勘,文字质量较好。

Shuxu Zhinan is a leishu( literally "category books") written by Ren Guang in Late North Song dynasty,in which words and phrases were extracted from ancient books so to be utilized for writing letters and other types of texts. This book has many editions in its publishing history. Huang Jingxing’s block printed edition in the sixth year of the Jiajing Emperor( 1527) is the earliest one among the existing editions. The edition from Baijia Mingshu series and Siku Quanshu series can trace back to a Song source,and its text is better than Huang Jingxing’s edition in some respects. Among the block printed editions of Qing dynasty,the edition of series of Mohai Jinhu is preferable because it gave emendation and collation through using various edition resources.
