Chu sanzang ji ji (出三藏記集). "Compilation of Notes on the Translation of the Tripiṭaka". T 2145.55.1a-114a. A catalog of texts compiled by Sengyou around 515.[1]

The Digital Dictionary of Buddhism states:

Sengyou, who completed his catalog shortly before his death, compiled an extensive list which relied on the (currently missing) earlier catalogs available to him at the time, along with his own research. In addition to its exhaustive lists of sūtras, it contains introductory essays on the sutra translations and biographies of the early translators, making it the most complete and reliable early reference work known. Sengyouʼs listing included both suspicious and spurious sūtras, but without making a rigorous distinction between the two types.[1]
