[Heb-NACO] Haggadah for Jewish Christians

[Heidi G Lerner]

Hi Barry,


I will look forward to LC's response on this issue. I looked for related resources in the bibliographic file and found an LC record for a 1988 book entitled: Siddur for messianic Jews. It appears that LC did not consider this prayer-book a true siddur.  The cataloger did not provide a uniform title for this work and entered it under the title proper with a subject heading "Jewish Christianns--Prayerbooks and devotions.


If were to follow this model I would think that entering it under the title proper would be appropriate and using perhaps the following subject headings:


Haggadah--Adaptations

Jewish Christians--Prayers and devotions.


I really don't know if creating a preferred title "Haggadah (Jewish Christians)" is correct or not. This gets into a discussion that I don't feel qualified to enter into.


Best, Heidi

Dear Safranim,



I recently catalogued a messianic Haggadah and was surprised that I could not find a proper title for such a work. It was listed under Haggadah in OCLC.

Unless I missed it, I'd like to propose that there be added to the authority file a heading for Haggadah (Jewish-Christian) or something along those lines.



Any thoughts?



Thanks,



Barry
