“《法书目录》六卷”考辨

A Textual Research on“Six Volumes of Catalogue of Calligraphy”

通过详细考察《隋书·经籍志》《旧唐书·经籍志》及《新唐书·艺文志》著录六卷《法书目录》的具体位置,揭示出《隋书·经籍志》因误读“泰始六年”年号,将南朝宋明帝时人虞龢的六卷《法书目录》当作西晋武帝时作品著录的错误,进而确证了《隋书·经籍志》中佚名之六卷《法书目录》,即《旧/新唐书·经籍/艺文志》所记载虞龢的同名著述。同时,也对姚振宗、余嘉锡、姚名达等先生在古典目录学史论著中的错误观点进行了纠正。

By examining the specific position of“Six Volumes of Catalogue of Calligraphy”in Suishu Jingjizhi,Jiutangshu Jingjizhi and Xintangshu Yiwenzhi,this paper reveals that because of the misunderstanding of“the sixth year of Taishi period”in Suishu Jingjizhi,Yu He’s“six volumes of Catalogue of Calligraphy”,which was composed in the Southern Dynasty,Songming period,was considered to be created in the Western Jin Dynasty,and thus confirms the“six volumes of Catalogue of Calligraphy”in Suishu Jingjizhi and Jiutangshu Jingjizhi,Xintangshu Yiwenzhi is the same book.On this basis,this paper corrects the erroneous views of Mr.Yao Zhenzong,Yu Jiaxi and Yao Mingda.
