《續修四庫全書總目提要》孝經類辨證

陳鴻森

    《續修四庫提要》一書,係繼乾隆間所修《四庫全書總目》之後,又一具總結性之書目要籍。其書蒐集《總目》失載各書,及乾隆以來迄本世紀三十年代見存舊籍,近三萬三千部,每書各為鉤玄挈要,剖判條流,考本書之得失,權眾說之異同,博見洽聞,誠足為後學津逮。顧其書出於眾手,又兵亂間倉卒成書,偶有疏失,固所不免。本文為作者研讀《續提要》經部所撰考證札記之一部分;茲就孝經類各書提要說有可議者,提出商榷,訂訛補闕,俾讀是書者參考之資焉。

關鍵詞:《續修四庫全書總目提要》、《孝經》、孝經學

    Hsu-hsiu ssu-k'u ch'uan-shu tsung-mu t'i-yao is an annotated catalogue supplementing its predecessor, Ssu-k'u ch'uan-shu tsung-mu t'i-yao, compiled during the Ch'ing-lung period (1736-95). The new catalogue has nearly 33,000 entries, representing some works extent before that period but not included in the previous catalogue, and many more works found or written after that period up to the 1930s. Each entry appears in the form of an article, presenting an abstract of the work, some biographical data about the author and some comments. Written by specialists in respective fields but completed in haste during the Pacific War, the articles are uneven in quality. Recently, some Chinese and Japanese scholars have begun studying the catalogue, mostly focusing on the history of its compilation. This paper, instead, analyzes eighteen articles in the Hsiao-ching section, critiquing some of the points made by the writers.
