《明史·艺文志》(以下简称《明志》)是我国历史上与“正史”同时成书的第六部史志目录,也就是最后一部史志目录(此外,《清史稿》成书时也有《艺文志》,但此书未被定为“正史”)。在这六部史志目录中,《明志》历来较少被史学界和目录学界所重视。人们多嫌其简略粗陋。我们认为,《明志》在我国文化学术史和目录学史上,有其特定的地位和贡献,是应给予肯定和研究的。 “Ming Shi Yi Wen Zhi” (hereinafter referred to as “Ming Zhi”) is the sixth Shi Zhi directory, which is the last Shi Zhi directory (also, “Qing History Draft” “Yi Wen Zhi”, but this book has not been designated as “Zheng Shi ”). In these six Chronicles catalogs, Ming Ching has always been less valued by historians and bibliographers. People are too brief and rude We think that Mingzhi should have certain status and contribution in the academic history of Chinese culture and history of bibliography and should be affirmed and studied.
