《医学证治发微》作者及成书年代考

中医古籍《医学证治发微》是一部并不出名的著作,作者对于多数人也很陌生。一直以来所有文献都认为作者名徐澹庵,字扆臣,约成书于清末。笔者用徐澹庵、徐扆臣、医学证治发微、证治发微等检索词,在各种数据库中反复检索,得到《医学证治发微》有效相关文献4条,即工具书的4条记载;徐澹庵有效相关文献9条(含《医学证治发微》4条有效相关文献);徐扆臣有效相关文献4条与《医学证治发微》相同;《证治发微》有效相关文献0条。足见该书相关记录之稀少。文献记载的"徐澹庵"与《医学证治发微》的作者徐扆臣,字澹庵是两个不同的人。之所以有这样的讹误,多半是因为"澹"通"淡""庵"通"安"。且《医学证治发微》所见者寡,而"徐锦,徐淡庵"所知者众。于是误将清康熙雍正乾隆间的海盐人"徐扆臣,徐澹庵"的著作,安给了清乾隆、道光间的江苏长洲名医"徐锦,徐淡庵"。笔者通过查阅原著,考究文献,对讹误进行了分析,认为《医学证治发微》一书作者为清顺治、康熙年间浙江海盐人徐扆臣,字澹庵,该书当成书在康熙年间。
