Anybody have an example

 

7B7.3.3. Inclusive or bulk dates. If a manuscript was created over a period of time, and inclusive and/or bulk dates are recorded in the date element, record the date(s) of each volume, part, etc., in a note, if considered important (see 4C3.4).

 

7B7.3.4. Conjectural date. See 7B7.1.

 

7B7.3.5. Copyright date. If giving a date of production based on a copyright date which appears on the manuscript, make a note that the production date is derived from the copyright date, if considered important (see 4C7.1). If transcribing a copyright symbol in the note, use a lowercase "c" to represent the symbol if it cannot be reproduced typographically.

 

7B7.3.6. Manuscript copy of a printed work. If the copyright date appearing on a manuscript reflects the date of creation of a printed work of which the manuscript is a copy, record that date in a note (see 4C7.3).


7B8. Context

 

7B8.1. Custodial history. (Cf. 7B5.4; combine?) Make a note listing known previous owners of the manuscript, if considered important.

 

7B8.2. Provenance (Cf. 7B5.4; combine?)

Make a note to describe details of an item’s provenance, if considered important. In less detailed descriptions, it is advisable to summarize provenance information, without providing exact transcriptions or descriptions of the evidence. Include the names of former owners or other individuals of interest and approximate dates, whenever possible.

 

National Library of Scotland copy: inscription of John Morris, 17th-century; stamped as a British Museum Sale Duplicate, 1787

Beinecke Library copy with inscription of Langston Hughes dated 1954

7B9. Physical Description

 

7B9.1. Basis of physical description. If the manuscript's current physical state differs from its original or previous state, make a note about its previous state, if considered important (see 5A3).

 

7B9.2. Multi-part manuscripts. If describing the extent of a manuscript that is in more than one physical unit, record the precise pagination and/or foliation in a note, if considered important (see 5B1.2).

 

7B9.3. Manuscripts that are partly or mostly blank. If a significant portion of the manuscript is blank, and it is being described as "mostly blank," "partly blank," etc. in the physical extent element, make a note giving the details, if considered important (see 5B1.3).

 

7B9.4. Discrepancies in extent. If the number of physical units of the manuscript in hand differs from the number of units originally produced, record this information in a note, if considered important (see 5B1.4).

 

Three volumes bound in one. (made-up example--or is this the wrong idea?)

 

7B10. Physical description

 

Refer out to AMREMM if the cataloger/archivist wants to do a very detailed description of a scriptorium-era manuscript adding information such as "500 Collation:" "500 Decoration:" 500: Script," etc.MOVE THIS COMMENT TO 7B10: PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

 

[AMREMM has a "format" note (7B1.1), and the physical description is also captured in the "500 Collation" note (at least the support is, whether paper, parchment, etc.). Blank pages are recorded in the 505 contents note, vid. 75B.1.2 "Generally, list the contents of an item in full, including blank pages" -JKN]  EOK: The use of the 505, which is defined for formal statements of content,  for blank pages seems odd to me.

 

7B10.1. Make notes on physical details that are not already included in the physical description area, if considered important. The first and last leaves are blank Title and headings printed in red Volumes numbered: 1, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3 Printed on vellum Printed on a quarter sheet  In v. 1, pages are numbered, but text is written only on every other page (i.e. the recto of each leaf) throughout most of the volume. In v. 2, leaves are numbered, and text is written only on the recto of each leaf. Page numbers in ink in table of contents at end may refer to the numbering of the manuscripts Mme. Lavoisier was copying from; page numbers for this volume are added in pencil.  Bound in vellum with remnants of leather ties at head. Volumes 1-3 are paginated continuously. EOK: Manuscript title page, 113 numbered pages of text, with 24 pen-and-ink drawings and 36 watercolor drawings on 39 separate plates numbered 1-12; 1-15; and 1-12; on 96 leaves) EOK: Do notes on the scribe/writer, as opposed to the author (if different) belong under physical description or under statement of responsibility? Examples:

 

Copies, in an unidentified hand.

Most of the items were transcribed during April-May 1806 under the direction of Lady Beaumont.

Written in the same hand as "The Kings good intentions and sentiments by one fullie instructed."

In an early 18th-century English hand.

Possibly in the hand of William King, Archbishop of Dublin, who may have sent it to Swift in London.

The manuscript contains numerous changes and corrections in the author's hand. Two additions, in another hand, were incorporated in the text as printed in the Independent.

On behalf of Mme de Maintenon, whose secretary she was.

7B9. Signatures 

[Manuscript codices have signatures, don't they? In AMREMM signatures are part of the "500 Collation" note. Should we really remove this whole section on signatures? - JKN] [Alternatively, we could shorten this section as DCRM(S) did, to: "Make a note giving details of the signatures of a serial, if considered important. Give these signature details generally according to DCRM(B) 7B9. Preface this note with the word 'Signatures' and a colon. Omit signature statements if there are too many volumes, or if the collation is too complex." MN]

 

7B9.1. General rule. Make a note giving details of the signatures of a volume, if considered important. Give these signature details according to the formula in Philip Gaskell's A New Introduction to Bibliography (see p. 328-332), insofar as typographical facilities permit. Preface this note with the word “Signatures” and a colon. Signatures: [A]4 B-C4 D2 E-G4 H2 Signatures: A-C4 D4(-D3) E-F4 Signatures: A-2Z8, 2A-M8 Signatures: [1-68] (Comment: Volume is completely unsigned). It is desirable to provide signatures when a volume has no pagination or foliation.

 

7B9.2. Unavailable characters. If the gatherings are signed with a mark of contraction (see 0G8.2, Appendix G3) that cannot be reproduced using available typographical facilities, substitute the spelled out form and enclose it in square brackets. Signatures: )(8 a-z8 &8 [con]8 [rum]8 If the gatherings are signed with other unavailable characters, substitute a descriptive term or an abbreviation for that term if a standard one exists. [dagger] (Comment: Gathering is signed with ) [double dagger] (Comment: Gathering is signed with ) [fist] (Comment: Gathering is signed with ) [fleuron] (Comment: Gathering is signed with ) [maltese cross] (Comment: Gathering is signed with ) [par.] (Comment: Gathering is signed with ) [sec.] (Comment: Gathering is signed with )  

 

7B9.3. Special uses of pi and chi. Indicate unsigned leaves that fall outside the signature sequence (see Gaskell, p. 330) by using the words pi and chi. Do not enclose the words in square brackets. Do not use the Greek characters π and χ, as these will give the impression that the leaves have actually been signed with Greek letters (see 7B9.9). Signatures: pi4 A-C4 chi2 D-Z4 Indicate partial duplications of an alphabet (see Gaskell, p. 331) by using superscript pi and superscript chi or, if superscript letters are not available, by substituting “[superscript pi]” and “[superscript chi].” Signatures: piA4 A-D4 chiD4 E-F4                         or Signatures: [superscript pi]A4 A-D4 [superscript chi]D4 E-F4  

 

7B9.4. Non-conventional Latin alphabet. If the gatherings are signed with roman letters according to a pattern other than the conventional 23-letter Latin alphabet (i.e., A-Z, less I or J, U or V, and W), make this explicit by recording the additional letters in the signature statement. Signatures: A-V4 W4 X-Z4 (Comment: Indicates a 24-letter alphabet) Signatures: A-I8J8 K-U8V8W8X-2I82J82K-2M8 (Comment: Indicates a 26-letter alphabet)  

 

7B9.5. Signatures do not match gatherings. If it can be determined that the signing of the volume does not match its actual gatherings, indicate this in the note. Signatures: [1]8 2-38; volume actually gathered in twelves  

 

7B9.6. Concurrent signatures. If the volume is signed using two concurrent sequences, provide both sets of signatures in the note. Give the signatures that correspond to the actual gatherings first, if this can be determined. Signatures: 1-1212; also signed A-S8 Signatures: 1-1212 and A-S8; actual gatherings cannot be determined  

 

7B9.7. Nonroman signatures (numeric sequence). If the gatherings are signed with nonroman characters that follow a numeric sequence, represent the characters using arabic numeration. Include an indication of the script used in the signatures in the note. Signatures (in Hebrew characters): [1]4 2-114 (Comment: Indicates a numeric sequence in which the first gathering is unsigned, followed by gatherings signed 2-11 in Hebrew numeration) If the nonroman characters are accompanied by parallel numeration using another script, note this as well. Signatures (in parallel Hebrew and arabic numerals): pi8 1-48 (Comment: Indicates a numeric sequence in which the first gathering is unsigned, followed by gatherings signed 1-4 in both Hebrew characters and arabic numerals) In case of doubt as to whether a sequence is numeric or alphabetic, assume a numeric sequence. Signatures (in Hebrew characters): 2-38 (Comment: Indicates two gatherings signed with characters that could belong to either an alphabetic or numeric sequence)

 

7B9.8. Nonroman signatures (alphabetic sequence). If the gatherings are signed with nonroman characters that follow an alphabetic sequence, transcribe in original script if typographical facilities permit, or in romanized form using the ALA-LC Romanization Tables. Use uppercase or lowercase characters according to the usage of the piece. If the script is one that does not employ case, or if the case of the characters cannot be determined, use lowercase characters. Include an indication of the script used in the signatures if recording them in romanized form, or if the signature statement would otherwise be ambiguous.  

 

7B9.9. Greek alphabetic signatures. For gatherings signed in Greek alphabetic sequences, use the 24-letter alphabet in the following chart as the basis for compressed signature statements (Greek letters are given in the top row, their romanized equivalents in the bottom row):  

 

Signatures: pi1 α-γ2 Α-2Λ2or Signatures (in Greek characters): pi1 a-g2 A-2L2 (Comment: Indicates an alphabetic sequence with an initial unsigned leaf, three gatherings signed α-γ in lowercase, a full sequence of 24 gatherings signed uppercase Α-Ω, finishing with a partial sequence signed ΑA-ΛΛ in uppercase)  

 

7B9.10. Hebrew alphabetic signatures. For gatherings signed in Hebrew alphabetic sequences, use the 22-letter alphabet in the following chart as the basis for compressed signature statements (Hebrew letters are given in the top row, their romanized equivalents in the bottom row):  

 

Signatures: א-ש8, a-k8 or Signatures: ʼ-sh8(in Hebrew characters), a-k8 (Comment: Indicates a Hebrew alphabetic sequence followed by a roman sequence)  

 

7B9.11. Other nonroman alphabetic signatures. For all other nonroman alphabetic signature sequences, do not assume that a standard signing pattern can be used as the basis for compressed signature statements. Give the first and last characters in each sequence, followed by a total count of the gatherings in that sequence in square brackets. Signatures: А-Ѵ2 [=41], 2А-2Ѵ2 [=41], 3А-3Ѿ2 [=24] or Signatures (in Church Slavic characters): A-Ẏ2 [=41], 2A-2Ẏ2 [=41], 3A-3ŌT͡͡2 [=24]  

 

7B9.12. Full collation. If considered important, make a note giving the full collation instead of a note recording only the signatures. Collation: 8vo: A-H4; 32 leaves: p. [1-2] 3-62 [63-64];

$3(-H3) signed. H4 blank

 

 

 

7B10. Illustration (optional element)

 

7B10.1. If describing the manuscript's illustrations in the physical extent element, mention minor illustrations or decorative elements in a note, if considered important (see 5C1.2).

 

7B10.2. If describing the illustrations' graphic process or technique in the physical extent element, give more detailed descriptions of the illustration(s) in a note, if considered important (see 5C1.3).

 

7B10.3. If the illustrations are in a single color, make a note to indicate the color, if considered important (see 5C3.2).

7B14. References to published descriptions  

 

7B14.1. Give references to published descriptions in bibliographies or other authoritative reference sources if these have been used to supply elements of the description.

Begin the note with the word “References” and a colon.

7B14.2. Make other references to published descriptions, if considered important. Such references are especially useful whenever the cited source would serve to distinguish a manuscript from similar manuscripts or printed works, substantiate information provided by the cataloger, or provide a more detailed description of the manuscript being cataloged. [Is this DCRM(B) rule really applicable to manuscripts? Published descriptions seem likely to be scarce. Also, the purposes cited for these references seem to apply more to books--MN]

[Does this apply to manuscripts? Most are not likely to be included in bibliographies--MN]
