《诚斋集》勘误三题

Corrections for The Collection of Chengzhai

杨万里《诚斋集》133卷,于南宋嘉定元年(1208)亦即杨万里去世两年后,由其长子杨长孺编定。笔者近来编写《杨万里年谱》,在检阅《诚斋集》的过程中,发现其中人名讹误、文本重出、编排混舛等一些问题。这些问题,不但如《四库全书总目提要》所云,因'其集卷帙繁重,久无刻版,故传写往往讹脱',而且其中有些问题在长孺编定时就已经存在。

The editing of Volume 133 in Yang Wanli’s The Collection of Chengzhai was accomplished by Yang’s eldest son,Yang Changru,in the initial year of Jiading in Southern Song Dynasty(the year 1208),two years after Yang’s death.When proofreading the Collection of Chenzhai,included in The Chronicle of Yang Wanli’s Life,which the author of this paper has recently been compiling,the author spotted errors such as wrong names,repeated texts,and disorderly layouts.These mistakes had existed in the editions preceded to Changru’s work,which was also in accordance with the explanation given in the general outline for The Full Edition of the Four Libraries,that" the mistakes occurred because the volumes were too heavy to be reprinted and had to be copied from hand to hand."
