歷代三寶紀 11.74

11.74

右二部合七卷。武帝世。釋王宗抄集眾經依事類撰。有似數林。首題經名編預於錄。懼亂名實故復委論。既非正經世所疑惑。又撰大小乘目錄。並見三藏記。

The 2 works above, totalling 7 fascicles. In the reign of Emperor Wu, compiled and excerpted from various sūtras and categorized by subject by Shi Wangzong, resembling a forest of numbers. Because their initial titles are termed 'sūtras' and entered in the catalogue, fearing that name and reality might be confounded, I discuss them in detail here. Since they are not authentic sūtras, they are doubted by the world. He also compiled a catalogue of the Mahāyāna and Hīnayāna scriptures; both are found in the Sanzang ji.
