Dear Colleagues,
Many thanks to Professor Xiao Rao for pointing out that the reason for
the omission of the *biji  *王氏談錄 from the 2016 printing of the 全宋筆記, 第三編 v.
3  was because that biji had mistakenly been included twice in the original
edition (in volumes 3 of *di san bian *and volume 10 of di yi bian). I
have had separate confirmation from one of the editors of the *Quan Song
wen *that that was the case, so the mystery seems to be solved.  What that
means for scholars of the Song, however, is that when citing the Quan Song
biji
it will be important to specify not only which bian and volume, but
also which edition/printing, as the page numbers are not the same.
Thanks again to Prof. Rao, and also to Zuo Ya, who has been very helpful
in getting back on this listserv!
Best,
Beverly
