Tetsugen Doko's Obaku Canon Catalog

I often use inter-library loans. Some libraries checked rare books to me. University of California at Los Angeles recently sent me a collated catalog of the Northern Ming Canon and marked as compiled by Testugen Doko 鐵眼道光. There is no Tetsugen's name in it. I thought it should be part of the Obaku Tetsugen canon, but it was actually collected with the Tenkai 天海 edition of movable-type canon. It was originally the collection of Daimokusan 大黑山. Still not clear about its history.
