<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">In this case, I'd guess (not having it before me) that the title is composed as a single sentence, with cases doled out to create a single grammatical unit, though it might seem rather paratactic to our barely inflected ears. I'm all for the most rigorous minimalization of ISBD punctuation in transcription, so I'd prefer the continuous presentation, in which even the comma isn't really necessary. But no, the meaning is ultimately the same.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><font face="'courier new', monospace">RICHARD NOBLE :: RARE MATERIALS CATALOGUER :: JOHN HAY LIBRARY</font><div><font face="'courier new', monospace">BROWN UNIVERSITY :: PROVIDENCE, R.I. 02912 :: 401-863-1187</font></div><div><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><</span><a href="mailto:RICHARD_NOBLE@BROWN.EDU" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace" target="_blank">Richard_Noble@Br</a><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><a href="http://own.edu" target="_blank">own.edu</a></span><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">></span></div></div></div>

If a respondent and praeses are given for an academic disputation, treat both names and the words indicative of their function as part of a single statement of responsibility (unless grammatically inseparable from the title proper<<a href="http://desktop.loc.gov/search?view=document&doc_action=setdoc&doc_keytype=foliodestination&doc_key=dcrmbTitleSPACEproperSLASHglossary&hash=TitleSPACEproperSLASHglossary&fq=myresources%7Ctrue" target="_blank">http://desktop.loc.gov/search?view=document&doc_action=setdoc&doc_keytype=foliodestination&doc_key=dcrmbTitleSPACEproperSLASHglossary&hash=TitleSPACEproperSLASHglossary&fq=myresources%7Ctrue</a>> or other title information).<br>
/ pro disputatione publica proponebatur praeside Jacobo Fabricio, respondente Johanne Reembbelt<br>
<br>
We are wondering why this instruction exists. Does it change the meaning if the respondent is in a separate clause? Is there a problem with this construction: pro disputatione publica proponebatur praeside Jacobo Fabricio ; respondente Johanne Reembbelt<br>
