"诸史提要"是藏于内府的一部古籍,作者是宋代钱端礼.四库提要 宋钱端礼撰.端礼字处和,临安人,吴越王俶六世孙,荣国公忱之子.少以恩荫入仕,累官至参知政事,兼权知枢密院事.以庄文太子妃父罢为资政殿太学士.再知宁国,移绍兴,复以观文殿学士提举洞霄宫.卒谥忠肃.事迹具"宋史"本传.是书乃取诸史之文可资辞藻者,按部采摘,汇辑成编.各以一二语标题,而分注其首尾于下.凡"史记"一卷,"前汉书"二卷,"后汉书"二卷,"三国志"一卷,"晋书"三卷,"南史"一卷,"北史"一卷,"新唐书"三卷,"五代史"一卷.其著录于"宋史·艺文志"者,与此本卷目相同.前有其门人刘孝韪"序",不著年月.详其词意,盖端礼为参政时所刊行也.其体例颇与洪迈"史汉法语","诸史精语"相近.陈振孙"书录解题"尝讥其泛然录钞,毫无义例.盖南宋最尚词科,以妃青俪白相高,故当时有此抄书之学也.
