Dear VSG,
I am looking for a digital copy of Lê Quý Đôn's "Toàn Việt Thi Lục." I know there is a microfilm of it at Cornell, but I was hoping someone might know of or have a digitized copy of the text. And in my secret dreams, I hope that there is a modern collated edition out there somewhere, like there is for Vân Đài Loại Ngữ. If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful. Repayment in drinks at AAS.
Best, John

Dear all,
Just a quick follow up: I know there is at least one full modern collection of Le Quy Don's work. I unfortunately do not own a copy, but if anyone has the relevant volumes, that would really be wonderful.
Thank you--
John

Dear John,
I'm afraid your best bet is Cornell's microfilm of Henri Maspéro's copy of the Toàn Việt Thi Lục at the Société Asiatique in Paris. It's the least incomplete of the extant manuscripts of this work (comprising books 1-15+16 out of 20 books [according to Phan Huy Chú's bibliographic entry]).
The Hán Nôm Institute has 11 manuscript copies in various degrees of incompleteness (either 15 out of 20 books, or 26 books of an alternative source text). Other than Hà Minh who wrote a dissertation on the work in 2007, I doubt anybody has digitized copies of it on hand. You might find this article of his useful:
Hà Minh. Bàn tiếp về phạm vi nội dung và quy mô kết cấu bộ Toàn Việt thi lục của Lê Quý Đôn Tạp Chí Hán Nôm 124 (3/2014). http://www.hannom.org.vn/default.asp?CatID=1023
If you just want a small sample for class, perhaps you can use the unmarked single book from the National Library digital collection under the title "Toàn Việt thi" + "quyển [blank]" Call number R.2199. I suspect it correlates to Book 8 of the Maspéro text, covering poets from the Lê dynasty ["quốc triều"], but here just Lê/[Nguyễn] Trãi, and Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm.

Unfortunately the quốc ngữ collection Lê Quý Đôn toàn tập from 1977-78 is a big misnomer, and only includes 3 of his works: (1) Phủ Biên Tạp Lục; (2) Kiến Văn Tiểu Lục; (3) Đại Việt Thông Sử. So it's far from complete and won't be of any help to you. A modern collated edition of Lê Quý Đôn's complete works remains a pipe dream, I'm afraid.

Dear anh Vinh,
Thank you so much for your message. I also realized that the 'toan tap' is unfortunately not 'toan' at all. I've gotten a copy of the microfilm of Maspero's copy, which I will use as the base for this study, and I really appreciate your suggestions for the bits and pieces available. Thank you so much!
With best wishes,
John
