The manuscript catalogue.

The scan inventory follows the supplied digital collection. The earlier register is a separate historical list; its entries are not assumed to correspond one-to-one with the scan files. A match is shown only where the title can be reconciled directly. PDF page counts describe scanned pages or spreads, not the original book’s pagination.

Ethnic and script classifications are retained as recorded and may need correction. The collection includes materials held by Boge Xiao and fellow collectors; individual ownership and reproduction permissions are not inferred from a folder name. International English ethnonyms accompany the original Chinese classifications. Names such as Miao and Yao are not silently replaced by names of narrower linguistic subgroups. English reading aids translate identifiable title elements; opaque or phonetic passages retain a Mandarin title reading. These aids do not establish the manuscript’s language or translate its contents. Reading copies are reduced for web use. They are facsimiles, not verified transcriptions or translations.
