Summary
Toh 4568 ch. 1-5:
More than a mere table of contents, the Degé Kangyur Catalogue is a detailed introduction to the Kangyur as a whole and this particular edition itself. It constitutes the entirety of the 103rd and final volume of the Kangyur and was written by the 8th Tai Situ, Chökyi Jungné (1700-1774 CE), who presided over the publication of the Degé Kangyur as its chief editor. The first three chapters of the catalog give a detailed history of Indian Buddhism and its arrival in Tibet while the final two give an account of all the texts included in the canon and an explanation of the merits of producing a Kangyur edition.
