Abstract:

The Harvard-Yenching Library collects two volumes of San Xi Zhai Shu Mu without author sinscription. Based on the verification of these three aspects in terms of the distinctive title recorded in thebibliography the versions of San Xi Zhai contained in other bibliographies and the seals of the booksrecorded in the bibliography and existing today it can be inferred that Yao Yuanzhi a distant youngerclansman of Yao Nai and born in Tongcheng was responsible for compiling this book list based on hisown collection as a reference. This bibliography records a large amount of works formerly in thecollection of the Xu Wen Xian Tong Kao Guan San Tong Guan and Imperial Academy. Some ofmaterials were even utilized as primary sources by these institutions when they composed Xu Wen XianTong Kao and Si Ku Quan Shu. By examining this remaining bibliography some new historical evidencecan be provided for the current study which explore the compilations of thought in the Qianlong periodand also provide useful clues for seeking the submitted copies and the master copies of the Si Ku in thefuture.
