《Engiyaku》 - Engikyaku

Japanese: 《延喜格》 - えんぎきゃく

...The 12 volumes of the code were compiled in 907 and enacted in 908, but the 50 volumes of the code took time to compile, and were completed and presented in 927 (Encho 5). The revision work continued after that, and it was finally enacted in 967 (Kōhō 4). The Engishiki was compiled by compiling imperial edicts, imperial orders, and Dajōkan documents from 869 (Jogan 11) to 907 by government office, with the assumption that it would be used in conjunction with the two preceding codes, the Kōnin Code and the Jōgan Code, and adding miscellaneous and temporary codes. On the other hand, the Engishiki was compiled as a compilation of all the ceremonial texts from the preceding Kōnin Code and the Jōgan Code, as well as the implementing rules that were revised afterwards.

From "Ruijū Sandaikaku"

…The Catalog of Books of Japan lists 30 volumes, but only 12 and 20 volumes remain as copies, neither of which is complete, and even when both are combined, there are missing parts. The contents are a collection of the three generations of Kōnin, Jōgan, and Engikaku by category, and the three generations of categories, which were arranged by government office, have been reorganized by category, such as matters related to shrines, matters related to provincial temples, matters related to separate provinces, matters related to tribunals, matters related to prohibitions, and matters related to punishment and redemption. It is thought that all of the three generations of categories were included in the Ruiju Sandai Kaku, but in the process of compiling the categories, not only were the categories mechanically rearranged, but when the same category was included in two government offices for the convenience of the work, only one of them was included, and conversely, there were also cases where one category was included in two categories. …

…格12巻は907年に撰進され，908年に施行されたが，式50巻は編纂に手間どり，927年(延長5)にいったん完成奏上，その後も修訂事業が続けられ，967年(康保4)に至ってようやく施行された。《延喜格》は先行の《弘仁格》《貞観格》の両格と併用することを前提として，869年(貞観11)から907年に至る間の詔，勅，太政官符などを官司別に編纂し，これに雑格と臨時格とを付加している。一方《延喜式》は先行の《弘仁式》《貞観式》の式文やその後に改定された施行細則をすべて集大成する形で編纂された。…

【類聚三代格】より

…《本朝書籍目録》は30巻と記すが，写本として残存するのは12巻本と20巻本で，いずれも完本はなく，両者を併せても欠失部分がある。内容は，弘仁格，貞観格，延喜格の三代の格（きやく）を類によって聚（あつ）めたもので，三代の格が官司ごとに配列されていたのを，内容により神社事，国分寺事，分置諸国事，調庸事，禁制事，断罪贖銅事など類によって集め，再編成している。三代の格の個々の格は，すべて《類聚三代格》に収録されたと考えられるが，その類聚にあたっては，機械的に配置を変えただけでなく，三代の格が執務の便宜上同一の格を二つの官司の項に収めている場合にはその一方だけを収めており，逆に，一つの格を二つの類に収めた場合もある。…
