Abstract: Zhisheng 智昇 is well-known for his seminal contribution to Buddhist catalogues. His scholarly output includes not only the famous Kaiyuan shijiao lu 開元釈教録 but also the Xu datang neidian lu 続大唐内典録, the Xu gujin yijing tuji 続古今訳経図紀, the Xu ji gujin fodao lunheng 続集古今仏道論衡, and the Ji zhujing lichan yi 集諸経礼懺儀. These five catalogues amount to a total of 25 scrolls (巻). The Kaiyuan shijiao lu, compiled in year 18 of the Kaiyuan 開元 era, i.e., 730 CE, is widely regarded as a representative opus of the genre. It has had a far-reaching influence on the history of Buddhist bibliography all across East Asia.
