This commentary on yellow hemp paper was an offering by the priest Gyoshin (d. 750), who trained at Horyu-ji Temple. The postscript of this text tells us that Gyoshin died before its completion, and the commentary was copied in its entirety through the efforts of his disciples. The regnal year Jingo Keiun 1 (767) is written over "Tenpyo Jingo 3," because the era changed on the sixteenth day of the eighth month of that year.
