Statutes of the Guild of Butchers, Wormditt, Prussia [CUL 4600 Bd. Ms. 230—MN to check]

Shaw and music

Note: Cover title: George Bernard Shaw as musician, original compositions, 1885. A loose note from Bernard Burgunder says this title is outrageous because he has copied Wagner, and puts the date in the early 1880s.

New discovered poems of Ossian

Note: Poems written by Baron Edmund von Harold in imitation of Ossian. Harold admits his authorship in the preface, which is dated 1784. An inscription on the flyleaf reads: "This copy of Ossian was made for James Wadmore ... by one of his clerks about the year 1811."

 

1C2.6.1 Title proper from elsewhere in the manuscript or from accompanying material

General rule:

Illegible title

 

Bancroft BANC MSS 89/62 z Box 37 Folder 47 (John Clifford Mortimer papers)

 

Item is typical Mortimer, written in black ink, edited in red ink (all in his hand); with a title in red ink, utterly illegible by processing Archivist (myself, AEB), public services staff and Mortimer's secretary. 

 

Supplied title:

Q: This is a single item appearing in a F.A. currently with square brackets around it, which I think universally says that it is supplied, but would it be better suited to add a note that says illegible title. That way it differentiates it from something where there was no title and it was supplied? (AEB) That sounds like a good idea to me--MN
