论文题要：

1964年俄国汉学家孟列夫、李福清以《〈红楼梦〉前所未闻的抄本》一文公布了在苏联科学院东方学研究所列宁格勒分所所藏《石头记》清代抄本的信息。

1984年12月，中国艺术研究院红楼梦研究所派出专家前往考察，确认此《石头记》抄本共35册，84回本。抄定年代……为乾隆末年至道光初年。

《石头记》抄本，20年代始，我国续有发现，屈指已得11种，如今又添一种。

抄本传俄过程甚为曲折。

《姑妄言》介绍。1966年，李福清发表一篇长文《中国文学各种目录补谴》，第一次著录了在列宁图书馆发现的《姑妄言》手抄本。

《姑妄言》是章回小说，作者为三韩曹去晶，有1730年（雍正八年）自序，分二十四卷。 三韩是中国的一个县名，清代属热河省，《姑妄言》作者是三韩县的汉族人。

经北京和台北专家查证，本书属于流失国外全帙孤本，国内仅存残本。抄本又经影印的漫长过程。

 

The Story How Two Manuscripts from the Qing Dynasty Were Lost in Russia

Li Mingbin

Abstract

In 1964, the Russian sinologists Menshikov and Li Fuqing published the article “An Unknown Version of the Hong Lou Meng,” thereby disclosing the news about a version of the Shitou Ji extant at the Oriental Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union in Leningrad (St. Petersburg). In December of 1984, an expert from the Hong Lou Meng Study Institute of the Chinese Academy of Arts confirmed that the Shitou Ji manuscript comprised of 35 books and 84 chapters.  This expert dated the text to be from between the late period of Qianlong to the early years of Daoguang.  Since the 1920s, studies concerning the Shitou Ji in China have ascertained 11 different versions, with this new manuscript making the 12th.  But the process of how this manuscript came to Russia is a complicated story.

In 1966, Li Fuqing published a long article entitled “Supplements to Some Bibliographies on Chinese Literature,” in which he reported for the first time the discovery of a manuscript of the Gu Wang Yan in the Lenin Library. Written by Cao Qujing, the Gu Wang Yan is a novel divided into chapters and paragraphs.  The author includes a preface that dates the text to 1730 (the eighth year of Yong Zheng period). He is a Han Chinese from Sanhan, a county in China which belonged to Rehe in the Qing Dynasty. According to the research of experts from Beijing and Taipei, this book is one of the spurious manuscripts that have somehow found their ways to other countries. In China only fragments have been preserved of the book. The process of the copying of the manuscript has also been very difficult.
