“Liu Sanfu”:吕良佐还是刘承范?——刘承范《利玛(窦)传》读后(一)

在利玛窦从肇庆移居韶州之际,出现了一个来自韶州的官员“Liu Sanfu”.利玛窦笔下的“Liu Sanfu”历来被释读为吕良佐,他是韶州通判,俗称“三府”即“Sanfu”.而根据刘承范的说法,这个官员就是他本人,但他身为韶州同知,俗称“二府”.相关资料证明,“Liu Sanfu”即刘承范,而作为韶州同知,他是“刘二府”,“刘三府”当为利玛窦晚年记忆错误或笔误；相关资料也可证明,刘承范曾以韶州府同知身份短期兼任南韶兵备道,一如利玛窦和刘承范本人所记.

Who Was ＂Liu Sanfu＂？ Lü Liangzuo or Liu Chengfan？ Remarks on Reading Liu Chengfan＇s Biography of Matteo Ricci（Ⅰ）

Liu Sanfu,an officer from Shaozhou who appeared at the moment when Matteo Ricci was going to transfer from Zhaoqing to Shaozhou,has been traditionally interpreted as Lü Liangzuo,who was ＂3° collaterale＂ in Shaozhou,commonly called＂Sanfu＂.However,according to Liu Chengfan,this officer was himself,but he was Vice-Governor or ＂2° collaterale＂ of Shaozhou,commonly called ＂Erfu＂.This paper tries to testify that Liu Sanfu is properly Liu Chengfan,who should be ＂Liu Erfu＂,and ＂Liu Sanfu＂ must have been a mistake made by Matteo Ricci in his Storia.Furthermore,this paper tries to prove that,with the title of Vice-Governor of Shaozhou,Liu Chengfan functioned,contemporaneously and temporally,as a head of Military Defense Circuit of the Region,just as recorded both by Matteo Ricci and Liu Chengfan.
