文渊阁四库本《缘督集》考论

Texual Research on Yuan Du Ji of Wenyuan Cabinet Sikuquanshu Edition

国家图书馆藏有一部清翰林院抄本《缘督集》,一直以来被视为善本。在四库文献群体中,它不同于阁本,亦非四库底本,而应称以'四库抄录本'。这个抄录本是《四库全书》编纂过程中产生的衍生品。将此本与文渊阁四库本《缘督集》进行比较,发现这个'四库抄录本'实非善本,阁本《缘督集》明显胜于翰林院抄本。阁本《缘督集》较之现存的万历本、清抄本而言,均有其特殊优势,其底本来源可靠,文字校勘精良。从某种意义上说,阁本《缘督集》实为善本。

The National Library of China has a edition of Y uan D u Ji,which is a hand-written copy edition in the Qing Dynasty Imperial Academy,and which has been regarded as a rare one.In the Sikuquanshu literature group,this hand-written copy edition is different form the Wenyuan Cabinet edition,and it is not the basal edition of Sikuquanshu.But should be called the'transcript of Sikuquanshu'.This transcript is a derivative one produced during the compilation of Sikuquanshu.Comparing this book with Wenyuan Cabinet edition,it is found that this'transcript of Sikuquanshu'is not a rare book.The Cabinet edition is obviously better than the Imperial Academy hand-written edition.And compared with the existing edition of Wanli period and transcript of Qing Dynasty,the Y ua n D u Ji of Cabinet edition has its own special advantage.It’s source of the book is reliable and the text is well-recognized.In a sense,the Yuan Du Ji of Wenyuan Cabinet is a rare edition.
