天津延古堂李氏藏书考略

A Study on Li’s Family Collection in Tianjin Yan Gu Tang Library

延古堂李氏家族在天津颇具声望,无论是为官,还是经商,抑或是参加社会慈善事业,都曾在天津留下为世人所乐诵的事迹。其家族藏书—延古堂藏书在津门藏书史上亦占有重要的地位。延古堂李氏藏书主要来源于四明卢氏抱经楼、南陵徐乃昌积学楼等。20世纪30年代,其藏书的很大一部分捐赠给南开大学木斋图书馆,最为精华的一部分善本书出售给国立北平图书馆,还有一部分古籍流向琉璃厂旧书店。延古堂存藏过的善本均有极高的文献价值和文物价值,如宋刻本《周易玩辞》、明刻本《唐语林》《华阳集》等。
