Catalogue of Scriptures, fascicle 4 (229 works, 985 fascicles; collating the count of works afterward leaves a discrepancy of five fewer):

5. Dhāraṇī mantras (47 works, 47 fascicles).
In total, four fascicles comprising twenty sections: altogether 1,433 works, 3,741 fascicles (collating this total count of works against the preceding figures shows a surplus of 395 works; the reason is unclear).
Catalogue of Scriptures of the Northern Qi (compiled in the Wuping era by the Director of Śramaṇas Fashang, whose Sanskrit name was Dharmottara; in 1 fascicle):
1. Miscellany Piṭaka Catalogue (291 works, 874 fascicles);

7. Compilations Catalogue (33 works, 147 fascicles);
8. Catalogue of Works by Human Authors (51 works, 106 fascicles).
Comprising 8 sections in all: authentic and spurious sūtras, vinayas, and śāstras, numbering 787 works, 2,334 fascicles (collating this total against the preceding figures shows a discrepancy of 11 fascicles fewer; the reason is unclear).
For the four catalogues from the Classified Catalogue of Scriptures downward, Fei Zhangfang’s catalogue and the Neidian Lu give full lists of section headings; currently, search has failed to secure their full texts, so only their titles are preserved here.
Tang Catalogue of Scriptures in 5 fascicles (compiled in the early Zhenguan era by the śramaṇa Xuanwan of Puguang Temple; cited from the Neidian Lu):
Regarding the above: in the Neidian Lu it is cited as the “Old Tang Catalogue,” but its text has not been seen. It appears to take the Sui five-fascicle Catalogue of Scriptures and interpolate newly translated scriptures, the rest being broadly identical.
Catalogue of Scriptures in 5 fascicles (adding Xuanzang’s translated scriptures into the Sui catalogue, the rest being otherwise identical; compiled by the śramaṇa Jingtai of the Great Da Jing’ai Temple under the Great Tang):
Regarding the above: for the thirty-one cataloguers from the Ancient Catalogue downwards, though all are comprehensively discussed in the various catalogues, when one wishes to search for their original texts it is difficult to find them complete. Their titles are listed here merely to record that they are based on evidence. (The compiler notes: In addition, just as Zhangfang’s catalogue cites the Yicheng Temple Canon Catalogue, and the Zhou Catalogue cites the Zhenji Temple Catalogue, Yishan Temple Catalogue, Xuanfa Temple Catalogue, and Fulin Temple Catalogue—these five catalogues above are only cited by title without stating their fascicle counts; and there is also a 4-fascicle Dacheng Temple Canon Catalogue from the Chen dynasty, none of whose compilers are known. They appear to be brief inventories of the canons of those specific temples. Since their origins are confined to particular temples and their titles are monastic catalogues, they are not suitable for general circulation, and therefore in the sequence of recorded catalogues they are omitted and not recorded.)
Liang Collection of Records on the Tripiṭaka's Translation in 15 fascicles (compiled by the śramaṇa Shi Sengyou of Jianchu Temple):
Its preface states in summary: “With mediocre and shallow abilities, I, Sengyou, have devoted myself to the gate of the Dharma, gazing up at the profound teaching and vowing to propagate it in this latter age. Whenever dusk or dawn arrives, reciting and upholding; throughout autumn and summer, lecturing and explaining—never has my mind not galloped to Āmrapālī's Grove, nor my shadow leaped toward the Vulture Peak. Thereupon, exerting my feeble determination, I traced the streams back to their springs, and gathered what I had heard into a work titled Collection of Records on the Tripiṭaka's Translation. First, to record the accounts of origin; second, to establish the catalogue of names; third, to collect sūtra prefaces; fourth, to recount the series of biographies. Compiling the accounts of origin makes the fundamental genesis clearly evident; establishing the catalogue of names keeps the chronological records from falling into obscurity; collecting sūtra prefaces provides adequate testimony for the times of these wondrous assemblies; recounting the series of biographies allows the character of these men to be perceived. All of this is done through analyzing the inner scriptures and scrutinizing external texts, and so forth.”
