在延續明代將《洗冤錄》視為「刑書」、輔助律例而行的趨勢下,清代最終選擇、接受《洗冤錄》作為檢驗知識的官方標準。而《洗冤錄》一書在清代的流傳、閱讀與應用,便是本文所要討論的重點。本文首先會初步梳理明清之際《洗冤錄》流傳的概況,其次將考論《律例館校正洗冤錄》的相關問題。通過對史料的探索,可以發現《律例館校正洗冤錄》的成書其實與《大清律例》的修纂密切相關,而考察《大清律例》的頒行,也能夠在某種程度上勾勒出清代將官書頒行天下的過程和具體方式。與前代不同的是,清代流傳至今的文獻、檔案相當多,因此在這些材料的基礎上,得以處理學習、閱讀、運用等較為細緻的議題,從而能更深刻認識《洗冤錄》在清代流傳的情形,並且釐清現代研究中對《洗冤錄》的某些誤解。
