<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>Dear
colleagues,</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>I'm
of two minds about a potentially useful (also, potentially stupid)</span></font>
<font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>descriptive phrase on
headings or references for engravers, and I'd like to hear other perspectives.</span></font>
<font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>(I</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>know I</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>could shoot this question to
Autocat, but would</span></font> <font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:
Calibri'>like to hear</span></font> <font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:
Calibri'>first</span></font> <font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>what
those say who are likelier to have dealt with this and similar issues.)</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>When
faced with a surname only followed with "sculp." or variation on
something I'm cataloging, I can sometimes spend quite a long time figuring out</span></font>
<font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>whether this person has
already been established in NACO because I don't know his first name.</span></font>
<font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>My proposed remedy: make</span></font>
<font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>a reference</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>on the NAR</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>from the surname</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>only</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>with</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>"sc." as</span></font>
<font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>a descriptive phrase,</span></font>
<font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>so that someone scanning a
heading result list would quickly zero in on the "sc."</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>(example: 400 Starling,</span></font>
<font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>‡c sc.).</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>You can</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>find</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>headings</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>already</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>established</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>in NACO</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>with "sculp." used</span></font>
<font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>as an addition to a
surname-only</span></font> <font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>heading</span></font>
<font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>to break a conflict</span></font>
<font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>(example:</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>100</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>Andre,</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>‡c</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>sculp.).</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>The
problem of course is that</span></font> <font face=Calibri><span
style='font-family:Calibri'>"sc." and its</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>variations mean</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>"engraved it,"</span></font>
<font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>not</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>"engraver." </span></font>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>Would
it be appropriate to</span></font> <font face=Calibri><span style='font-family:
Calibri'>continue the practice of using the abbreviation of a Latin verb phrase
as a descriptive phrase? Or would it be more appropriate to provide an English
approximation of what "sculpsit" indicates rather than</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>using</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>the phrase itself</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>(example: 100</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>Rivers,</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>‡c engraver). In any case, would
it be helpful to provide cross references when</span></font> <font
face=Calibri><span style='font-family:Calibri'>a name appears on works without
a forename but with "sculp."?.)</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>This
has become a pressing topic for us since we're in the midst of a grant project
to catalog and digitize</span></font> <font face=Calibri><span
