Chronological compilation of Takano's Spring and Autumn

Japanese: 高野春秋編年輯録 - こうやしゅんじゅうへんねんしゅうろく

A chronological history of Mount Koya written by the scholar monk Shunchobo Kaiei of Mount Koya. It is also called "Koya Spring and Autumn." It was completed in 1719 (4th year of the Kyoho era). It has one first volume and 18 main volumes. It records the history of Mount Koya from 816 (7th year of the Kōnin era) to 1718 in chronological order. It has excellent historical value, but it also has many shortcomings, such as statements that require further examination, a bias towards the scholar monks of Mount Koya, and a lack of source names, so it cannot be considered a first-class historical source.

Japanese:

高野山の学僧春潮房懐英（しゆんちようぼうかいえい）の手になる高野山の編年史。《高野春秋》ともいう。1719年(享保4)成立。巻首1巻，本文18巻。816年(弘仁7)から1718年に至るまでの高野山の歴史を編年体で記す。すぐれた史料的価値を有するが，欠点も多く，検討を要する記載や，記述が高野山の学侶方にかたよる点，典拠の史料名を欠くことなどのため第一級史料とはいいがたい。【和多秀乗】
