[Heb-NACO] questions on chronograms in Hebrew script

[Miller, Caroline]

Hi Heidi,

I’m by no means a rare book cataloger but I have taken two Rare Book School classes on cataloging.  I checked the Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Books) 4D2.2 for some guidance.  It wasn’t real helpful.  I personally wouldn’t add a parallel Romanized field for the 500.  It’ll be interesting to hear what our rare book colleagues say.

Hi Heidi,

Thank you. May I ask, in the 264 – if all we have is the chronogram – do we use only the Gregorian date in both the 264 and its 880 field?

Thanks,
Haim

Dear rare book catalogers,

I am for the first time providing a chronogram for a pre-1800 Hebrew book in a note field in both transliteration and native script:

We do not have any official guidelines in current Hebraica RDA cataloging documentation for recreating a chronogram from a resource so I am emulating how it would be recorded in Bibliography of the Hebrew book.

For the work that I am currently working on I have done it in the following manner:

500 Date of publication derived from chronogram: ע’ל’ מ’ש’פ’ט’ו’ ישב

500 Date of publication derived from chronogram: ʻA.l' m'i'sh'p'a'ṭo yeshev

I would greatly appreciate any feedback from experienced rare book catalogers.

Sincerely, Heidi Lerner
