This is very helpful. The same instructions for personal names applies to corporate names and we've had several discussions at SLU about the use of "$v Early works to 1800" with corporate headings that also have a $x, for instance, Catholic Church $x Government or Catholic Church $x Doctrines. Some of the catalogers have been leaving out the "$v Early works to 1800" in OCLC but inserting it in our local system. OCLC practice varies. It makes sense to me, however, that the SH with a $x would then be seen as a unit and could be considered topical, at which point "$v Early works to 1800" would be authorized. It's a case of cataloger's judgment but we would be grateful to hear how others proceed.<br>

I think that the combination of subfields "[personal name] $x [subject subdivision]" can be considered, as a unit, to be a "topical heading," and can therefore be followed by "$v Early works to 1800." What isn't allowed is the simple combination "[personal name] $v Early works to 1800." "Jesus Christ--Passion" is a topic in a way that "Jesus Christ" is not. Exactly how that is, perhaps someone else can explain.<br>

Subject: [DCRM-L] use of SD early works under SH Jesus Christ<br>
<br>
Simple question:<br>
Can the SD "Early works to 1800" be used under the SH Jesus<br>
Christ|Subdivision (Passion, Divinity. etc.)<br>
It is authorized under Jesus Christ|vBiography, but that seems to be the<br>
only one specified.<br>
Rules say not to use it under names of persons, but I'm not sure if that<br>
applies to notable religious figures<br>
and practice is inconsistent just about everywhere I've checked.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
