Sui Renshou nian neidian lu (Catalogue of Buddhist Scriptures of the Renshou Era of the Sui), five fascicles (the biography of Shi Xuanwan of Yanxing Monastery in the capital states that Emperor Wen ordered the venerable masters of Daxingshan Monastery together with translating śramaṇas and scholars to examine the Dharma treasury and establish this catalogue in detail):
1. Single Translations;
2. Retranslations;
3. Collections and Biographies of the Worthies and Āryas;
4. Separately Extracted Texts;
5. Suspect and Apocryphal Texts.
The above five items are currently widely copied and circulated in the capital. They simply list sūtra titles while grading translations, omitting more than half, and are insufficient for research. Its preface briefly states that separately extracted texts and suspect or apocryphal works need not be copied, while the other three categories are included in the canon. As for texts like the Fabao ji and the Jingzhuzi, they are also treated as abridged excerpts and are classified as separately extracted texts. As for the rest, such as monastic biographies, anthologies, and historical accounts, their literary form is not purely orthodox; although their events may be investigated, they have no place in a catalogue, and so forth, as already recorded above.
