Chu sanzang ji ji

The Chu sanzang jiji or Collected Records Concerning the Tripitaka (出三藏記集, T 2145) includes the earliest extant catalog of Chinese Buddhist texts. It was compiled by Sengyou of the Liang Dynasty and finished c. 515 CE.^[1] ^[2] . In addition to the catalog, the Chu sanzang jiji also includes an introduction describing the translation process and its challenges, a collection of biographies of translators, and a set of prefaces to scriptures giving historical context. Sengyou's main source in the compilation of the catalog was a catalog compiled by Dao'an^[3] (312–385), which is now lost.
