<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">This is a rather ambiguous case, Avrom, but I’ll venture in with my two cents and then we can see what others suggest. Since the work consists mainly of printed material from a book, I’d suggest cataloging it
as a book with manuscript material in it, with code “a” in the “Type” element. You can describe the manuscript material and the binding in copy-specific notes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’m assuming that the printed pages are consecutive. If they’re not, and instead there’s a page here and a page there from the prayer book, that (to my mind) makes the item something closer to a scrapbook, and
a little bit more of a candidate to be cataloged as an archival collection (in the sense of a unique collection consisting of mixed material) that’s bound together in a volume. But if you’re working mainly in the context of a library (i.e. book collection)
and the manuscripts in the book aren’t of exceptional importance, you could still make a case for cataloging the volume as a book, since it’s mainly print material.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I work at the library of Yeshiva University in New York. I am cataloging a rare item which is a compilation of Jewish prayers in memory of the deceased.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am not sure whether to call this a manuscript or a regular book. It is privately compiled and bound. The first page is a Ladino prayer handwritten in blue ink on lined note paper. The next sixteen pages are printed Hebrew pages of
prayers, extracted from an unidentified published prayer book. The last three pages are again handwritten on lined note paper. It is a list of names and death dates in Hebrew. All this is bound together in a piece of leather with a title mounted on a strip
of tape on the front of it. This was probably compiled in New York in the 1950’s. No name is given of a compiler or organization. My question , therefore, is what to consider this item as. In the fixed field, what code do I give it in the “Type” element?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please advise. <o:p></o:p></p>
