古籍板本考辨──以牌記著錄為例

An Evaluation of Different Editions of Three Printed Old Books- Based on Colophons

古籍板本的鑒別，藉由牌記的著錄來辨識，係前賢鑒定古籍的眾多方法之一，也是後人賴以辨識一書板本的基本依據之一。筆者從事古籍整理，亦遵循前賢歸納的諸多條列；在實際進行中，仍然發現牌記足以淆亂板本判定的實例，即就所整理題為「揚州阮氏琅嬛僊館刊本」之《經籍纂詁》、題為「武英殿聚珍板原本」之《春秋繁露》及題為「監本禮記殷氏藏板」之《禮記集說》三書所見到牌記上的問題，佐證前賢警戒後人於判別古籍板本時，必需謹慎處理，不能僅憑牌記所載，即驟然下斷語的勸誡。

There are many ways to ascertain the edition of an ancient printed book; one of them is to examine the contents of the “Bei-Ji'(碑記, colophon). However, the contents of the 'Bei-Ji' sometimes contradict each other and cause incorrect judgement. This paper makes a thorough examination of three old ancient books collected in Tunghai University Library. The colophons of these books, Jing-Ji-Zuan-Gu (經籍纂詁), Chun-qiu Fan-Ju(春秋繁露), and Li-Ji Ji-shuo(禮記集說) present the case for further examinations. The Jing-ji Zuan-gu, lists several formal titles of the editor Ruan Yuan(阮元) in the Collect-Gems Edition(聚珍版, movable type) while the Chun-qiu Fan-Ju and Li-Ji Ji-shuo indicate that they were 'Block-Printed Editions of Guo-zi-jian(國子監). This paper is intended to analyze the causes of these discrepancies, and to date the edition as when they were carved and printed.
