[Heb-NACO] questions on chronograms in Hebrew script

Wed Aug 26 19:27:35 EDT 2020

It depends on which rules you follow. There are differences betwen DCRM, RDA and A2

In DCRMB chronograms are optional but do can go in a note.

RDA LC-PCC PS

LC-PCC PS for 2.8.6.4[http://access.rdatoolkit.org/images/rdalink.png]<http://access.rdatoolkit.org/document.php?id=rdachp2&target=rda2-6858#rda2-6858>
ALTERNATIVE

I would transcribe the 264 field as follows: [Place] : [Publisher/Printer], ע'ל' מ'ש'פ'ט'ו' ישב [495=1734 or 1735]

I am not sure we need a 500 field

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
