《新大成医方》伪书考

A Study on a Pseudograph Xin Da Cheng Yi Fang

《中国古籍总目》著录台北某图书馆藏《新大成医方》一书,称“宋·王元福辑”。此书实即南宋江西名医严用和所著《严氏济生方》。台藏本之书名、序言署名经人剜改,乃托名伪书。严用和《严氏济生方》清代即已佚失,《四库全书》所收八卷本乃从《永乐大典》中辑出,内容不及原书一半,且将《严氏济生方》及其续书混而为一。日本尚存《严氏济生方》宋刻本(缺三卷)、《严氏济生续方》室町时期写本(缺两卷),如再参照这一藏本,以及元明以来几种方书引文,大体可恢复《严氏济生方》及《严氏济生续方》之全貌。《新大成医方》对于复原《严氏济生方》原貌有着重要的文献价值。
