Collation note: The entry for Li Xi's 30-scroll Clarifying Doubts about the Book of Han likely duplicates Li Shan's work. The Old Book of Tang bibliography (j. 46) records a 30-scroll Han Shu Bianhuo by Li Shan, consistent with his biography (j. 189A). Since this chapter also lists a 20-scroll work under Li Shan, the two entries are probably the same book; the author is almost certainly Li Shan, not Li Xi.
