Su Jinren points out that CSZJJ cites the Gu lu four times, in all cases for information about works that Sengyou treats as anonymous. Su rejects the theory that the title Gu lu refers to a legendary catalogue of works brought to China under the Qin 秦 dynasty. |

Su Jinren points out that CSZJJ cites the Jiu lu 舊錄 as a source for information more than 110 titles. The latest title for which it is cited dates from the E. Jin. On this basis, Su suggests that the catalogue itself dated to the late 4- early 5c. Su rejects the traditional view that this title referred to a Han catalogue by Liu Xiang 劉向. |

Su points out that in CSZJJ T2145 (LV) 11c25-12a14, the Fo you Tianzhu ji 佛遊天竺記 in one fascicle appears at the end of a list of texts where it appears not to belong --- the general note covering the whole list, immediately following, counts 11 texts in all, but this text is a supernumerary twelfth item in the list; the list otherwise includes translations, or manuscripts in Skt that have not yet been translated, but this title appears to refer to a different sort of text. On this basis, Su proposes that this title was added to CSZJJ later (he notes that Zhisheng refers to CSZJJ for information about the text in KYL, so it must have been added before that time). |

Su Jinren suggests that the entirety of Fascicle 12 may be a later addition to CSZJJ. He bases this view on the fact that it is odd for a catalogue to come at this point in the structure of CSZJJ as a whole, i.e. after the "Prefaces" section, and away from the other fascicles containing catalogues; and the fact that the works treated here are largely either Sengyou's works, or works produced under the auspices of Xiao Ziliang 蕭子良. |

Su Jinren argues that the independent biography of Zhu Fonian in CSZJJ T2145 (LV) 111b7-25 is likely to be a later addition. His reason for this contention is that another biographical notice about Zhu Fonian is also appended to the biography of *Dharmanandin 曇摩難提 at T2145 (LV) 99b24-27. He speculates that the independent biography was added after Sengyou obtained more information, and he omitted to excise the smaller notice appended to the Dharmanandin biography. |

At the end of the list of An Shigao works in fasc. 2, the present (T) version of CSZJJ counts 34 works in 40 fascicles 右三十四部。凡四十卷. However, Su Jinren points out that in present text. the list in fact features 35 texts in 41 fascicles. LDSBJ agrees with CSZJJ. This shows that one item on the list in the present CSZJJ was added later. He notes further that in LDSBJ, 34 of the 35 texts in question have a note referring to CSZJJ as the source of the ascription, but such a note does not appear for the 九橫經. He argues on this basis that the 九橫經 is the title later added to the list. |

At the end of the list of Buddhabhadra texts in Fascicle 2, CSZJJ explicitly counts ten texts 十部。凡六十七, T2145 (LV) 11c22. However, Su Jinren points out that there are in fact 11 texts on the list. He points out that Zhisheng in KYL refers to CSZJJ for all but on of the titles on the list, namely, the 菩薩十住經, 11c16. On this basis, he proposes that this title was added to the list later. (Cf. T283, T284.) |

Su Jinren points out that the last item recorded in LDSBJ and DTNDL for the Qi dynasty is 毘跋律 the by 釋法度. On the basis of Fajing, who says it was a forgery by Fadu, Zhisheng in KYL excises the text from the canon. This text does appear in CSZJJ: 毘跋律一卷 右一部。凡一卷。齊[＋武SYM]帝時。沙門釋法度出, T2145 (LV) 13c7-8. On this basis, Su suggests that this line is a probable later addition to CSZJJ. |

At the end of the section on Qi texts, CSZJJ features a somewhat jumbled list of five texts, T2145 (LV) 13c9-20. Like Naitō (whom he does not cite), Su Jinren, "Intro" 19-20, regards this list as a later addition. He points out that the texts are not presented in chronological order, like other texts preceding them in the same section. LDSBJ does not cite CSZJJ as a source for these five texts. In fact, Zhisheng, in KYL, is the first to report them on the basis of CSZJJ. Su believes that this list must have been added to CSZJJ by a later hand. |

The titles affected by this theory are: 教戒比丘尼法, 大智論抄, 虛空藏經, 十二因緣經, and 須達長者經. [The ascription of the present T73 to 求那毗地 may ultimately rest on this CSZJJ notice --- MR.] |

For the 異出經緣 of CSZJJ, LDSBJ T2034 (XLIX) 125c17-126a8 reports a different number of texts and fascicles to that found in our present CSZJJ. Naitō suggests that the difference in numbering between the LDSBJ report and the transmitted CSZJJ lies in the last 9 texts in the list. [T2145 (LV) 15a8-25 --- MR.] This list of nine texts also differs in form from the bulk of the section that precedes it. The preceding 34 texts in the same list are divided in an orderly manner into sūtra-vinaya-śāstra, but these nine items mess up that categorisation [all are sūtras again --- MR.] Annotations to earlier items give number of fascicles, but here, only names of translators are given. Further, there are items among the nine that were already recorded in the preceding, more orderly list of 34, but which are here recorded again with errors. On this basis, Naitō proposes that these 9 items are a later addition, added in a rather sloppy manner. This section also features the 長者須達經 of *Guṇavr̥ddhi 求那毘地, which appears in a list at the end of the 撰出經論 that Naitō also suspects of being a later addition. He therefore proposes that this section was added at the same time as that list, sometime after 504. The titles affected by this hypothesis are: 成具光明經 For the same list, Su Jinren (20, without reference to Naitō) also points out some of the same problems. Su does not believe that this list could have been added to the text by Sengyou himself, partly on the basis of the fact that the annotations appear to reflect too much ignorance. |
