《尔雅匡名》卷数考

Research of "Er Ya Kuang Ming" Volumes

长期以来,学界对《尔雅匡名》的卷数问题没有给以充分的注意,以至于在各类学术著作和各类工具书中一直存在八卷或二十卷之说,也有的著作二说并存。我们经过翻阅大量的资料,得出了《尔雅匡名》事实只有二十卷的结论。

For a long time so little attention has been paid to the volumes of the book of Er Ya Kuang Ming in the academic world that there is always a talk of 8 or 20 volumes in existence in all kinds of scholarly works and reference books. In other works both of the numbers of the volumes are listed, too. It is concluded that the book of Er Ya Kuang Ming has only 20 volumes, to be exact, through reading a great number of reference materials.
