古籍裡的風景──國家圖書館的藏書印記初探

The Scenery in the Rare Books--Collector's Seal of the National Central Library

我國古代的許多藏書家，都懷有自己的理想及抱負。他們對於經眼閱讀或收藏的善本典籍，都留下印記引以證的習慣，這也構成中國古代典籍常見有藏書印記的一大特色。他們不但延續了歷史的生命，也對知識文化的推展，作了偉大的貢獻。藏書印的種類、形制與風格包羅萬象，並無一定的準則，完全依藏書家個人的喜惡與品味而定。隨著紙本與雕版印刷的興起，藏書印記由唐代偶有所見，至明清之際蔚為風氣，廣受藏書家的喜愛。這些藏書章不止在於美觀，可供觀賞而已；而是這些小小的藏書章裏蘊藏著很多不為人知的故事。本文以國家圖書館典藏善本古籍裡的藏書印記為主要探討的對象，並藉由藏書印記來說明藏書家對書籍的保護，以及藏書家愛書的心境，希望藉助本文能找回讀書、愛書、藏書的原意，進而建立溢滿書香的社會。 The collector's seal was commonly found in many Chinese rare books.
