into the Resources tab. We know that religious works is an area which does require guidelines in the basic Toolkit, but at the same time, as part of the internationalization effort, we will be convening a working group to look what is common to all and what
(like the old Christian lists of Books of the Bible) needs to be moved to Resources. We hope to come up with guidelines which serves catalogers working with a variety of religious works without the overtly Christian bias of previous Anglo-American cataloging
rules.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Outside of the obvious sacred works, I think it's up to the individual library to decide what gets treated as a sacred work and what doesn't since there isn't an official list. For my money, the Zohar is not a sacred text. Important,
intriguing, wrapped in mystery and goof-ball Aramaic, and unmistakably one of Judaism's greatest hits, yes, but not sacred in a global sense the way the Bible, the Mishnah, the Talmud et al. are. LC agrees. Do a subject search in LC's catalog under "zohar"
and you'll discover that there are 265 instances of 63000 Zohar and only one 63000 Zohar $v Commentaries.
