[Heb-NACO] Samaritan versions of the Bible

[Heidi G Lerner]

Dear Elhanan, 

I approached the response to your question by looking at AACR2 and the Marc Authority Format for languages. 

AACR2 25.18A10 tells us to 

Add the name of the language of the item after the designation for the Bible or part of the Bible . 

Version is defined by AACR2 (see glossary) as the type of translation  of the Bible or any of its parts. 

The MARC format for Languages includes Samaritan Aramaic as a language. 

Based on the above I would construct a Bible heading with Samaritan Aramaic in the delimited l. If there varying versions  of the Samaritan Bible, then that information would go in a delimier "s." 

A basic heading for the Samaritan Pentateuch I think would like 

Bible.$pO.T.$pPentateuch.$lSamaritan Aramaic. 

I look forward to comments, criticism, etc. 

Sincerely, Heidi

Shalom all 
  
LC authority site has a number of different forms - none of which has the 'authorized heading' button 
  
Bible. O.T. Exodus. Hebrew--Versions--Samaritan. 
and 
Bible. O.T. Pentateuch. Hebrew. Samaritan--Translations into Arabic. 
  
and for Aramaic 
Bible. O.T. Pentateuch. Aramaic--Samaritan--Versions. 
Bible. O.T. Pentateuch. Aramaic--Versions--Samaritan 
Bible. O.T. Pentateuch. Samaritan Aramaic--Criticism, Textual 
  
Questions: 
  
for Hebrew - should Samaritan be a version? (subfield s) 
  
for Aramaic - is Samaritan a version, or is Samaritan Aramaic considered a language?
