I looked at the subject headings and catalog record for the "ha-Yasmin ha-ḳadosh " and they appear to indicate that the author is Iranian in origin, and that the book is an autobiography which might account for the different vocalization of the surname. I am not that familiar with all the types of Iranian Jewish surnames. </div><div><br></div><div>I personally would use the romanized form as found since we do not have any concrete evidence that the form is incorrect. Very often found romanizations within the resource being cataloged do not match AL/LC systematic romanization, but we are told that in the absence of a found romanized form in one of the reference sources listed in LC-PCC 9.2.2.5.3 we use the romanized form that is found in the resource. And the NAR can always be updated later.</div><div><br></div><div>You could also contact the publisher to verify the romanized form and change the heading after you hopefully receive a response.</div><div>best, Heidi</div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Heidi G Lerner" <lerner@stanford.edu><br><b>To: </b>rtalbott@library.berkeley.edu, "Hebrew Name Authority Funnel" <heb-naco@lists.osu.edu><br><b>Sent: </b>Thursday, July 9, 2015 10:03:06 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Heb-NACO] Obvious error in romanized form of name<br><div><br></div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000"><div>Hi Bob, could you provide the title of the book? <br></div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Robert M.
