[Hayashiya 1933]  Hayashiya Tomojirō 林屋友次郎. “Zui dai kyōroku ni kansuru kenkyū 隋代經錄に關する研究.” In Bukkyō ronsō: Tokiwa Daijō kanreki kinen 佛教論叢 常盤博士還暦記念, edited by Miyamoto Shōson 宮本正尊, 231-316. Tokyo: Kōbundō shobō, 1933. — 242-243

Hayashiya discusses what is known about Li Kuo's catalogue of Northern Wei texts. LDSBJ contains conflicting information suggesting two different dates of composition, either 508-511 or 532-533. Hayashiya holds that the later date is more plausible, adn the earlier date can be accounted for as a copyist's error; the later date is followed by DTNDL, KYL etc. The catalogue was composed for the construction of a monastic library, in order to determine what texts needed to be obtained. He gives the Table of Contents according to LDSBJ and KYL. He also claims that it is cited in Fajing's Zhongjing mulu T2146, in addition to LDSBJ. [However, I can find no direct evidence in Fajing that it uses Li Kuo's catalogue --- MR.]

[Sakaino 1935]  Sakaino Kōyō 境野黄洋. Shina Bukkyō seishi 支那佛教精史. Tokyo: Sakaino Kōyō Hakushi Ikō Kankōkai, 1935. — 658-659

In the process of discussing the biography of Bodhiruci (of the N. Wei), Sakaino quotes passages from LDSBJ, XGSZ 續髙僧傳 , and the Li Kuo lu 李廓錄 (as quoted in XGSZ). Sakaino then points out that although Li Kuo compiled his catalogue by the order of emperor Xuanwu 宣武 of the N. Wei 北魏 (r. 499-515), the catalogue records events in the Tianping 天平 era of emperor Xiaojing 孝靜(靖) of the E. Wei 東魏 (534-437). Sakaino conjectures that probably the Li Kuo catalogue was revised in the Tianping era.

[Sakaino 1935]  Sakaino Kōyō 境野黄洋. Shina Bukkyō seishi 支那佛教精史. Tokyo: Sakaino Kōyō Hakushi Ikō Kankōkai, 1935. — 659-661

Sakaino states that it is odd that LDSBJ cites the Li Kuo catalogue 李廓錄 only once in entries on Bodhiruci’s works, viz, in a note on the *Daśabhūmika-sūtra-śāstra 十地經論 T1522, while by contrast, it frequently cites instead the Fashang catalogue 法上錄 or Baochang’s catalogue 寶唱錄. [Sakaino thinks that Li Kuo’s catalogue must have included Bodhiruci’s works, because of their chronological and geographic proximity.] Sakaino conjectures that maybe Fei did not see the Li Kuo catalogue directly, and just quoted it via other catalogues such as Baochang 寶唱錄; and that probably Fei wrote the note on T1522 referring to the preface of the scripture, not to Li Kuo’s catalogue.
