《知不足斋丛书》巾箱本研究

A Study on the Pocket Book of Zhibuzuzhai Series

乾嘉时期,藏书家鲍廷博所刻的《知不足斋丛书》因校勘精审,享誉盛名。该套丛书通行为白竹纸巾箱本,用黄色太史纸印刷的巾箱大开本较少,故谢国桢等人虽有见闻,往往限于材料未能深入探讨。通过对鲍廷博刻书的版式、刷印纸张及尺寸研究,依据版框大小,鲍廷博所刻的书籍可分为大开本及巾箱本。就印刷纸张而言,《丛书》白纸本与太史纸本虽然开本不同,但版框一致,两种印本并无不同。而造成开本相异的原因当为鲍家针对购买者的不同需求而印刷的商品,不可据纸张认定为初印与否。

During the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods of the Qing Dynasty,the Zhibuzuzhai series,published by bibliophile Bao Tingbo,gained a great reputation for its meticulous collation.These series were typically printed on white bamboo paper with a small-size format,although a few large books were printed on yellow taishi paper.Consequently,despite some scholars like Xie Guozhen being aware of these books,further study was hindered by limited available material.By examining the format,number of printed pages,and size of the books published by Bao Tingbo,this series can be categorized into two sizes:large-format books and small-format books.Although the white bamboo paper version differs from the taishi paper version in terms of printed material,the format remains the same.Therefore,there is no distinction between the two printed editions.The difference in editions is likely due to Bao's production to accommodate varying buyer needs,and it is not appropriate to determine the first printing based on the type of paper.
