《淮南万毕术》辑侠史简论

A Brief History about the Supplement of Huainan Wanbishu

《准南万毕术》是西汉淮南学派的重要典籍,反映了中国早期科技史的诸多信息。但与《淮南子》备受学界重视不同,《准南万毕术》很早便已亡,因此其供文多数是依靠唐宋类书与古注的征引而得以保存。清代盛行辑供之学,不少辑家都对《准南万毕术》进行了辑录,从而形成多种重要的辑本,这些辑本是研究《准南万毕术》辑佚史的文献基础。对这些辑本的相关情况进行介绍,并对其不足予以客观的揭示,不仅有利于梳理《准南万毕术》在此前学术界的研究情况,还可以对今天重新整理该书提供方向与经验。
