<div class="moz-cite-prefix">This is a question likely to provoke
fisticuffs, but our practice here is to index the current town
name and the current jurisdiction (only) regardless of
anachronism. So Slovakia $d Kosice, and similarly Poland $d
Wroclaw (= Breslau), Ukraine $d Lviv ( = Lemberg, Lwow), Belgium
$d Antwerp etc. The historical objections to this are obvious, but
the practical objections of finding appropriate terms on a case by
case basis for towns whose names and states have varied widely
over history should be equally obvious. This way everything
printed in one location should be findable by a single search on
the currently accepted term.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Good morning,<br>
<br>
Here is a question to which I cannot find answer. The book in
hand is a late 18th-c. breviary published in Kosice, Slovakia.
However, at the time of publication (and through most of its
history) Slovakia was part of Hungary. Which country should be
listed in 752? Or, can there be two 752s? And if yes to the
latter - should the city name be given in the language of the
country listed? Hungarians called Kosice Kassa. <br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
