27.4

刪繁錄者。謂同本異名。或廣中略出以為繁䞉。今並刪除。但以年歲久淹共傳訛替。從盈卷帙有費功勞。今者詳校異同甄明得失。具為條目有可觀焉。

As for the Catalogue of Abridging Redundancies: this refers to texts that share the same original yet bear different titles, or that were extracted as abridgements from larger works and thus constitute superfluous redundancies. These are now all excised. However, with the passage of many years, errors and corruptions have been transmitted concurrently; multiplying scrolls and fascicles wastes effort and labor. Now, having collated similarities and differences in detail to clearly distinguish correctness from error, they are set forth item by item for reference.
