在《文献》创刊30周年纪念专刊即将付梓之时,惊闻国家图书馆名誉馆长、《文献》季刊学术顾问任继愈先生于2009年7月11日4时30分溘然长逝。谨借本期专刊,表达《文献》编辑部及文史学界对任先生的深切悼念。 At the time when the special issue of the 30th anniversary of the founding of the “Document” was about to come to its knees, he was shocked by the honorary curator of the National Library and Ren Qiyu, an academic advisor to the Quarterly Journal, who passed away at 4.30 on July 11, 2009. I would like to borrow this special issue to express my profound condolences to Mr. Ren in the editorial department of “Literature” and in the history of literature and history.
