Wēnbìng tiáobiàn 溫病條辨 (alternate recension)

Detailed Analysis of Warm Diseases by 吳塘 (Wú Táng, hào Jūtōng 鞠通, 1758–1836)

About the work

A second catalog entry for Wú Jūtōng’s Wēnbìng tiáobiàn, parallel to KR3eg010. The catalog meta gives no author and no dynasty for KR3eg011, but the title is identical to KR3eg010 and the structure of the source suggests this is the same six-juǎn text in a different recension — most likely the late-Qīng or Mínguó-era re-edition with annotations (a common form is the 王士雄 Wáng Shìxióng / 葉霖 Yè Lín / 雷豐 Léi Shàoyì annotated editions that circulated widely in the 19th and early 20th centuries).

Abstract

For the full doctrinal-historical treatment of the Wēnbìng tiáobiàn, see KR3eg010. The present entry represents a parallel recension. Without distinct paratext, the two entries cannot be further individuated from the catalog metadata alone; readers seeking the substantive content should consult KR3eg010.

Other points of interest

The presence of two catalog entries under identical title in a single cóngshū division most likely reflects the editorial decision to preserve two distinct textual witnesses to the Wēnbìng tiáobiàn, given the importance of the text — a parallel to the dual entries for the Shānghán lùn in the same collection.
