GSS · AUGUST 2026 WORKING CATALOGUE
A working catalogue, with its uncertainties intact
This is the corrected August working catalogue, not a final physical bibliography. Later September re-readings are presented separately in the GSS research dossier. Dating candidates, locations, interpretations, and unresolved readings are preserved as distinct evidence layers.
These 77 entries describe research records, not the first 77 files in the 203-file scan inventory. An entry is not always one physical book: A44 includes two. Scans are linked only where title correspondence is documented.
Read the later GSS interpretationHow to read the evidence
Each entry separates the original transcription, recorded names and roles, dating and geographical candidates, textual features, and interpretation with its limits. A place formula is not automatically a copying location, findspot, or travel route. Names accompanied by “recorded”, “acquired”, “transmitted”, or “purchased” are not automatically authors. Shared forms do not establish a shared origin.
English translates the research commentary, not the full manuscript. Original character strings remain visible where their exact form matters. Mandarin title and personal-name readings are navigation aids; they are not verified Zhuang or Vietnamese pronunciations.
