Tianlu Linlang was the imperial rare books collection in Qianjia period in Qing Dynasty. The books described in the Tianlu Linlang Catalogue were acknowledged as outstanding treasures among humankind. The catalogue of the original collection, destroyed by fire, is referred to as qianbian; the sequel, which sought to replace the contents, is called houbian. With the vicissitudes of the past 200-plus years, only half of the total of 1,093 titles now remains, distributed amongst private and public collections around the world. Based on a comprehensive investigation, this thesis reveals the current status of the existing Tianlu Linlang books in Taiwan, including those collected by National Palace Museum, by National Central Library, by Fu Sinian Library of Academia Sinica, by National Taiwan University Library and by Mr. Pan Siyuan. I narrated the story of ultimately their dispersal, identified the whereabouts of the dispersed volumes in order and summed up its characteristics. |
