The fourth main section of Zhuchen’s catalog of the Degé Tengyur is entitled “Miscellaneous Treatises.” The 31 texts found here (D.4374-D.4404; 31 texts) are indigenous Tibetan works from the imperial period of the eighth and ninth centuries (D.4374-D.4392), along with a further group of Tibetan treatises whose authors’ names are unknown (D.4393-D.4404).
