一卷，不着撰人名氏，卷未有淳熙十年东平荣芑跋曰：“右缙云叶樾交叔传此谱，稍异于众人之说，不知何人所撰。称徽祖为太上皇，必绍兴初人”云云，是当时已不详其出自谁手矣。其书前论石之所出，与石质、石眼；次论价次，论形制；而终以石病。唐柳公权《论砚》：“首青、绛二州，不言端石”；苏易简《文房四谱》亦尚以青州红丝砚为首；自是以后端砚始独重于世，而鉴别之法遂愈以精密。此谱所载于地产之优劣、石品之髙下，皆剖晰微至，可以依据。至如当时以子石为贵，而此独辨其妄，故荣芑以为“稍异于众人之说”，葢指此类而言。自米芾《砚史》已云：“遍询石工未尝有子石”。芾为含光县尉，尝亲至端州得其详，而其言正与此合，亦足以知其说之真确也。
