This current article is about the Pinakes catalog by Callimachus that has been acknowledged as the first library catalog in Western civilization. Although many people has recognized the importance of the Pinakes catalog in the field of the history of ancient catalog, few research has been conducted because of the lack of groundwork in the field. This research comprehend most of the previous research in the field so that it can contribute as one of the groundworks in the field of the ancient catalog.

The purposes of this study are to understand: 1) the changing process of ancient Chinese Buddhist books catalog with comparison of catalog. 2) the characteristics of current chinese Buddhist books Catalog with analysis of their classification structure. The results of the study can be summarized as follows: 1) The origin of Chinese Buddhist books catalog is the Chongrijungkyongmokrok that was compiled by Doan, however this catalog can not be discovered. 2) The oldest Buddhist books catalog which is available is the Chulsamjangkigib by seungu 3) The Sujungkyongmokrok by Bubkyong, et al. is known as the most reasonable and systematic Buddhist books catalog. 4) The Kaewonsukkyorok which is compiled by Jiseung in Tang dynasty, is evaluated as the most perfect and useful catalog. This catalog had a great effect on the later catalogs. 5) The important current Buddhist books catalogs are the Bingajungsa catalog, the Wangmunsan catalog, the Yukukkyun Catalog, et al., each of them has an own characteristics.

The KIER's Korean historical earthquake catalog was revised for MMI${\geq}$VI events recorded from the years 27 A.D. to 1904. the magnitude of each event was directly determined from the criteria suggested by Seo. The criteria incorporated the damage phenomena of the Japanese historical earthquake catalog, recent seismological studies, and the results of tests performed on ancient structures in Korea. Thus, the uncertainty of the magnitudes of the Korean historical earthquakes can be reduced. Also, the Gutenberg-Richter parameter values were estimated based on the revised catalog of this study. It was determined that the magnitudes of a maximum inland and minimum offshore event were approximately 6.3 and 6.5, respectively. The Gutenberg-Richter parameter pairs of the historical earthquake catalog were estimated to be a=5.32${\pm}$0.21, b=0.95${\pm}$0.19, which were somewhat lower than those obtained from recent complete instrumental earthquakes. No apparent change in the Gutenberg-Richter parameter is observed for the $16^{th}-17^{th}$ centuries of the seismically active period.
