粤港澳大湾区庋置之五省官书局合刻本二十四史对比研究

A Comparative Study on the Twenty-four Histories Published by the Five Provincial Official Publishing Houses in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area

五省官书局合刻本是二十四史版本发展过程中的重要环节,无论从印制方式还是从版式结构看,都是传统文献本向近代版本发展的转捩点。通过考察它的庋置状况,既能够反映相关地区在传统文献方面的积淀,又可以揭示传统文献脱胎旧式窠臼的趋势。笔者对粤港澳大湾区重点图书馆中庋置五省官书局合刻本二十四史的情况作了普遍考察。通过对比获知,不仅大湾区各重点图书馆都庋置有一定数量的局刻本,而且澳门大学与华南师范大学藏本均为足本。其中,澳门大学藏本为完善的初期印本,其版式结构及材质具有标杆性意义;华南师范大学藏本则由补配组合,在材质方面参差不齐,却能系统地反映局刻本在印刷方面的演变过程,因此在中国印刷史上具有重要的学术价值。

The combined edition of the five provincial official publishing houses is an important link in the development of the Twenty-four Histories,which is a turning point from the traditional document to the modern edition,either from the printing methods or the layout structure. By examining its collection status,it not only reflects the accumulation of traditional literature in relevant areas,but also reveals the trend of traditional literature breaking-out of the old pattern. With this aim,this paper made a general investigation on the collection of the Twenty-four Histories in the key libraries of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Our comparison finds that not only all the key libraries of the Greater Bay Area have a certain number of the Twentyfour Histories in their collections,but also the University of Macao and South China Normal University have the full volumes. The one in the University of Macao is the perfect initial print,whose layout structure and material are of benchmark significance. The one in the South China Normal University are made up of supplementary materials,even uneven in material quality,but it can systematically reflect the evolution process in local printing. The findings have important academic value in the history of Chinese printing.
