法国史学家古朗治(Fustel de Coulanges)1864年出版的《古代城市》(La Citeantique),在西方学术界名噪一时。关于此书在中国流传的情况,学术界以前没有加以梳理。据目前查到的资料,在20世纪20年代中国对此书开始进行了评介,1938年出版了李玄伯翻译的中译本。可是,到了50年代以后,由于种种原因,此书少为人知,少为人用,受到冷遇。而到了80年代,中国进入改革开放新时期以来,《古代城市》一书又重新流传起来,出版了几种重印本和新译本,并多为引用。 The French historian La Citeantique, published in 1864 by Fustel de Coulanges, became famous in Western academia. About the book spread in China, academics did not sort out. According to the information currently found, in the 1920s China started to comment on the book, and in 1938 published a Chinese translation of Li Xuanbo’s translation. However, by the 1950s, due to various reasons, the book is less known, less used, and received cold receptions. By the 1980s, after China entered the new period of reform and opening up, the book “Ancient Cities” was again circulated. Several kinds of reprints and new versions were published and were quoted mostly.
