Emperor's Chronicle - Teiou Hennenki

A chronicle of 30 volumes (27 volumes remain today). Compiled by the monk Eiyu (a person from the Northern and Southern Courts period, origin unknown). It has various other names depending on the manuscript, such as "Rekidai Henronshusei," "Teiou Henronshusei," "Rekidai Henronki," and "Fuso Henronroku." It is said to have covered the period from Emperor Jinmu to Emperor Gokogon (or Emperor Goenyu) of the Northern Court, but since the last three volumes have been lost, only the portion up to Emperor Gofushimi (late 13th century) remains. It is divided into sections for each emperor, first recording events of that period, then a brief biography of each imperial family member, people who held important positions in the Imperial or Military Department, and the history of major temples. It is included in the "Kokushi Taikei."

年代記。30巻（現存するのは27巻）。僧永祐(えいゆう)（南北朝時代の人、伝未詳）の編。『歴代編年集成』『帝王編年集成』『歴代編年記』『扶桑(ふそう)編年録』など、写本によっていろいろの別名がある。神武(じんむ)天皇から北朝の後光厳(ごこうごん)天皇（あるいは後円融(ごえんゆう)天皇）までを扱っていたらしいが、現在、最後の三巻が散逸しているため、後伏見(ごふしみ)天皇（13世紀末）までの部分しか伝わらない。各天皇ごとにまとめられ、まずその時代の事件を記し、ついで各皇族の略伝や、公武の重職にあった人物、主要寺院の歴代などが掲げられている。『国史大系』所収。
