Since then, either kiden-ka or kiden-do came to be used as the subject name, but teacher's title continued to be monjo hakase which had been in use since the Jinki era (except some examples of using 'kiden hakase' to stress the meaning of 'a history teacher' in sentences where hakase of other subjects were mentioned together).
以後、学科名としては紀伝科あるいは紀伝道が採用されたものの、博士の号は神亀以来の「文章博士」の呼称が採用された（ただし、文章中に他の科の博士と併記する場合には、「紀伝道の博士」という意味で「紀伝博士」の表記を用いた例もある）。
