      These files will appear on the web page alongside the complete document. The bibliographic treatise (32-35 Jingji zhi 經籍志) in the Suishu is of great importance because it is the first library catalogue after that of the Later Han period 後漢 (25-220 CE), the Yiwen zhi 藝文志 of the history Hanshu 漢書.

      This book is nothing else than the above-mentioned collection of treatises, Wudaishi zhi.

      The first print of the Suishu was produced in 1024, but no copy has survived. The treatises were compiled by Yu Zhining 于志寧 (588–665), Li Chunfeng 李淳風 (602–670), Li Yanshou 李延壽 (dates unknown) and Yan Shigu, the supervision was taken over by Linghu Defen 令狐德芬 (who was also author of the dynastic history Zhoushu 周書), later by Zhangsun Wuji 長孫無忌 (594–659), and they were finished in 656.

      The treatises were not only compiled separately, but were also dealt with as a separate book, Wudaishi zhi 五代史志 "Treatises to the five dynastic histories" (not the Five Dynasties!), namely Liang 梁 (502-557), Chen 陳 (557-589) , Northern Zhou 北周 (557-581), Northern Qi 北齊 (550-577), and Sui.

      This book was only later directly attached to the Suishu.

      The particular histories of these dynasties, the Liangshu 梁書, Chenshu 陳書, Zhoushu 周書 and Beiqishu 北齊書, contain no treatises, but information on the administrative policy of these dynasties is to be found in the Suishu, although in a not very reliable state.

      While the treatise on measures, mathematics and calendar (16-18 Lüli zhi 律曆志), for instance, also deals with the Southern and Northern dynasties 南北朝 (300~600), the geography treatise (29-31 Dili zhi 地理志) reflects the administrative situation of the Sui period.
