This brings me to the question: what else is Sacred Texts in our cannon? Other than the Tanakh, should we include the Talmud (Mishnah, Tosefta?)? I wouldn't include the midrash as a number of rishonim, like Duran, consider it to be holy, yet "not to be taken literally." Yet, the Zohar is midrashic in nature. It's all a conundrum. If people are interested, perhaps we can talk more about that in our RAS Cataloging Summer meeting, since the Winter's agenda is already quite full.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Jan 24, 2021 at 11:47 PM Heidi G Lerner via Heb-naco <<a href="mailto:heb-naco@lists.osu.edu" target="_blank">heb-naco@lists.osu.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

I have a question: for purposes of correct application of LC Subject Heading Manual and RDA, is the Zohar considered a Sacred work.</div>
