Summary

• Presented here is a rare copy of Nü ke bai wen (100 questions on gynecology and obstetrics). The original inscription reads: "Qi Zhongfu, student of Hanlin Medical Institute, serving the medical officers of the Metropolitan Infantry Command and instructor of the Imperial Medical Service." At the beginning is a preface by the compiler, who affirms that gynecology and obstetrics formed one of the 13 medical departments. He compiled the work with a collection of formulas. Also part of the work are his miscellaneous notes, Chan bao za lu, on pregnancy and various ailments prior to, and after, childbirth. In his Guo hui tu shu guan cang Zhongguo shan ben shu lu (A descriptive catalog of rare Chinese books in the Library of Congress), the compiler Wang Zhongmin gave a detailed history of the Qi family of the Song dynasty, but he doubted that Qi Zhongfu was the author of these two works. Nor did he think that the preface by Qi was authentic. He concluded that the work probably came into existence during the Chenghua and Hongzhi reigns (1465-1505) of the Ming dynasty and was reprinted during the Chongzhen period (1628-44) by Min Qiji of the prominent Min publishing family, as indicated by a note at the end of the work: "A new print of Min Qiji of Wucheng in the year of 1640." This copy is a Qing reprint of 1795 by Jujingtang, who acquired the original Min woodblocks. The authors of the three prefaces were Qi Zhongfu (attributed), Min Qiji (dated 1640), and Xu Gu (dated 1571). Juan 1 deals with various women's diseases. Juan 2 deals with pregnancy, childbirth, and related diseases. World Digital Library.
• This is the earliest edition of this work, as verified by Wang Guan ca. 1567-1572; the date in the preface by Xu Gu appears to be spurious; the preface notes that the book was preserved in Jinze; copied by Wang Lun, and later printed by Wang Guan, son of Wang Yijin.

• -  十行十九字. Ten lines, with nineteen characters per line.
• -  原題:「門生翰林醫證入內內宿壽明慈睿殿應奉侍衛步軍司醫官兼太醫局教授齊仲甫撰。」前有仲甫自序云:「恭惟聖朝，列聖繼承，念民疾疢，創學設科，釐為十三科，各有專習。於是婦室始專科矣。仲甫分職其科，輒忘蒙映，嘗集眾方，纂成一帙，目曰女科百問。又自孕元胎始，氣形將護，產前後諸雜病證，附為產寶雜錄。」仲甫事蹟無考，序末署:「峕嘉泰庚辰春二月吉旦」，嘉泰亦無庚辰，又有許穀序云:「齊仲甫先生在宋為醫局教授，分治婦人一科，嘗譔女科百問二卷，產寶雜錄藥方一卷，往藏於吾鄉少司馬容菴金公家。訥齋翁取而錄之。嘗與太保石岡公曰:此書有功濟陰，盍梓之以傳?茲冏卿小石君，疏允乞閒，因檢故篋，始取而刻之，曰:此吾祖父志也。訥齋翁姓王氏，名綸，字廷言。」按石岡公為王以旂，獻徵錄卷十七載王公以旂行狀云:「綸應天庠生，累舉不第，是為公父。」又云:「子男四:長管，次籥，次簧，次竹。」又考金陵通傳卷十五:「管行太常卿。」但冏卿指太僕，是管又曾官太僕卿也。則是書最早刻本，為隆慶間王管所校刻。至傳是書之少司馬金容菴，當是金澤。澤江寧人，弘治十五年官南京兵部右侍郎。由此觀之:其本出於成弘之間，蓋原無齊仲甫其人，其自序亦後人所偽譔。至偽譔之人為金為王，抑別為一人，今不可知矣。此本為崇禎間烏程閔氏所重刻，卷末記云:「崇禎庚辰季春十日烏程閔齊伋遇五父，閔日觀觀我父仝訂。」封面又署:「乾隆乙卯年新鐫，聚錦堂藏板」者，閔氏原版後為聚德堂所得也。自序嘉泰庚辰年(?)，閔齊伋(序)崇禎十三年 (1640)，許穀(序)隆慶五年 (1571).
