Comment

A separate ed. of the officially sanctionned ed. of the plates representing a corpse (front and back) appended to most eds. of Xiyuan lu (q.v.), followed by the checklist of lethal and non-lethal spots to fill by the magistrate based on the coroner’s observations and send to the higher authorities. This particular copy was filled by the acting magistrate of Ruzhou independent department 汝州直隸州 (Henan); the coroner (仵作) was a certain Sun Yaozong 孫耀宗, and the victim was a nine-year old boy named Liu Wanbang 劉萬邦, who had been wounded by a blade in two places, one lethal. The seal of Ruzhou has been affixed to each joint between two folios.
