Catalog of books in Japan

A catalog of books compiled and written by Japanese people up until the early Kamakura period. One volume. Editor unknown. Published in the mid-Kamakura period. 493 titles are categorized into 20 categories, such as Shinto rituals, imperial chronicles, and official affairs. However, books of waka poetry have been omitted, as the "Waka Gendai Shomoku Mokuroku" already existed. Although this is a catalog that only notes the volume number and author below the title, it is valuable in that it includes the names of books that have been lost. It seems that it was originally handed down together with the "Shokemeiki," a catalog of diaries up until the early Kamakura period.

日本人が鎌倉前期までに編纂(へんさん)・著述した書物の目録。一巻。編者未詳。鎌倉中期の成立。書名493点を神事、帝紀、公事(くじ)などの20部門に分類している。ただし和歌の書物については、すでに『和歌現在書目録』があったため省略されている。書名の下に巻数と作者を注記しただけの目録であるが、散逸した書物の名がみられる点で貴重である。本来は、鎌倉前期までの日記の目録『諸家名記(しょけめいき)』と合冊して伝わっていたらしい。
