《三朝北盟会编》四库覆校底本考辨——兼论乾隆五十二年覆校《四库全书》的操办流程

A Study on the Original Text of A Collection of Three Reigns and Northern Alliance in the Revision of Complete Library in Four Branches of Literature:With a Discussion of the Operating Process of Revising Complete Library in 1787 A.D.

上海图书馆藏有一部《三朝北盟会编》清抄本,据其题跋可知,此书经吴城、江声、朱文藻、吴玉墀、彭元瑞等诸位清代名流精校,且于乾隆五十二年覆校《四库全书》时被用为底本,弥足珍贵,然而梁太济先生撰文质疑此书并非“四库底本”。本文研究回应梁文的质疑,仔细梳理此书之校藏源流,重新论证它的四库覆校底本性质,并以《会编》为例,考察乾隆五十二年清人覆校文渊、文源、文津三阁《四库全书》的具体操办流程,希望能够对《四库全书》纂修过程的精细化研究有所助益。
