摘要
周永年（1730-1791）是清代乾隆時期一位重要的文獻學家，他在藏書、校書之外，更提出了「儒藏說」，此說在內容上包含許多與藏書相關之議題，在重要性上除被後世學者認為與《四庫全書》的編纂關係密切，更被視為近代圖書館的先聲。清高宗修纂《四庫全書》時周永年也在《四庫》館中，親身參與了此書的編纂。周永年既提出影響後世的「儒藏說」，又親身參與過《四庫全書》的編纂，其文獻整理方面的成就自是值得深入討論。 本論文共分六章，首章「緒論」，對研究周永年的研究動機、範圍與方法作說明，並檢討前人學者的相關研究成果。第二章為「周永年之生平、交遊及其著述」，以周永年之生平、在山東地區之交遊情況與其編撰之成果為主，作一全面且系統的蒐集與整理。第三章「周永年『儒藏說』與《四庫全書》之編纂」，考論《四庫全書》館開館的始末、「儒藏說」之流變與內涵，以及二者間之影響。進而將《四庫全書》、「儒藏說」與近代圖書館三者作一比較分析，以呈現「儒藏說」在圖書文獻發展中的客觀地位。第四章「周永年對《四庫全書》館的貢獻」，利用清宮檔案中之記載考證周永年在《四庫全書》館中的編纂成果。第五章「借書園藏書的聚散」，以周永年《借書園書目》為主，統計各小類下所記書籍數量與卷數，再分部討論其中所收之書籍內容，並將《書目》中註明版本之條目一一考證。末章「結論」，就周永年在文獻整理上的相關成就與影響作一綜論，以給予周永年一個適當的評價。
