Collections of Oracular Bones Inscriptions 甲骨文集書林 Many authors wrote articles discussing the meaning
of the Oracle Bone inscriptions. It is very important to consult them. But we
need to know what exactly the corpus of these existing inscriptions is. There are several well know catalogues or
collections. But there are also some people who bought a few fragments either
of turtle carapaces or of bovine shoulder blades (scapulas) with a few graphs
engraved on them. One day they published an article an reproduced the
inscriptions for the first time. For the big catalogues we indicate the author and
the date. But we give also a short description of the content. When an author
indicated that the few inscriptions he describes are published for the first
time, we also include that article as part of the “sources”. Of course we do
not pretend to include all of them but the description of the 412 catalogues
or articles of this book is the more complete presentation of the existing
Oracle Bone inscriptions. It may be of some help for the study of these
inscriptions. 至今已有許多作者撰文探討甲骨文的字義，這些論文十分具有參考價值。不過，我們也必須對出土甲骨文的研究素材擁有詳盡的認識。 目前可見不少著名的甲骨錄與甲骨文集，此外也有一些人購買刻有文字的龜甲或牛胛骨，假以時日，他們便將骨甲上的文字予以複製、加以發表。 本書不僅指出各種要甲骨著錄的作者與編著時間，還就著錄內容做出扼要的描述。某些論文由於載有首次發表的甲骨文字，也會視為「研究來源」，收錄在本書中。雖然本書的意旨不在收錄所有的研究素材，但書中提出的412本甲骨著錄與論文，可說為目前出土的甲骨文字，作出了極為完備的介紹，應該有助於甲骨文的研究。 |
