略论章太炎《七略别录佚文徵》的辑佚学体例

A Brief Discussion on Zhang Taiyan's Compilation Method inThe Collected and Lost Documents of the Seven Summaries

章太炎《七略别录佚文徵》以马国翰《玉函山房辑佚书》所辑《七略别录》为对象,以完善马氏辑本为目标,剔除《汉志》“所录书目及其子注”以及“诸书叙录”集中呈现的佚文,表达了对辑佚条目“多”与“真”之间辩证关系的独特思考。章氏辑本承绪马氏,《别录》《七略》混辑不别,值得商榷。但章太炎依《汉志》分类框架确定佚文的类别位置,并根据“班氏省出新入”对佚文类别位置做出相应调整,较为准确地复原了“刘氏旧文”的原书篇第。尤其是,章氏佚文首列“《艺文志》所录书目”作为“起本”文献,使佚文各有攸归,并揭示了《别录》《七略》佚文与《汉志》著录在书名、篇卷等方面的异同,具有较高的学术价值。

Zhang Taiyan's The Collected and Lost Documents of the Seven Summaries takes Ma Guohan's compilation of the Seven Summaries in his work Collected Lost Books from the Yuhanshanfang Study as the object.The objective is to improve Ma's compilation by eliminating the lost documents presented in the“Book Titles and Their Sub-Annotations”and the“General Catalog of Books”in the Han Annals.Zhang expresses a unique reflection on the dialectical relationship between the abundance and authenticity of compiled lost entries.While Zhang's compilation follows Ma s,combining the Collected Records and the Seven Summaries without distinguishing between them,this approach can be debated.However,Zhang Taiyan determines the categorization and position of the lost documents based on the classification framework of the Han Annals,and makes corresponding adjustments to the category positions in response to“Ban's omissions and additions.”This accurately restores the original order of the“Old Texts of Liu,”particularly in terms of book sections.Notably,Zhang starts the list of lost documents with the“Book Titles Recorded in the Yiwenzhi,”serving as the“original source”literature,giving each lost document its proper position.This reveals the similarities and differences between the lost documents in Collected Records and Seven Summaries and their recording in the Han Annals in terms of book titles and sections,providing valuable academic insights.
