<p>Hi Karen,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>[Theses] seems a bit odd unless you are sure there is more than one thesis in the item.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>If I were cataloguing this I'd be inclined to do something along the lines of your lean title suggestion, only not quite so lean, and then add a note.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>245 10 $a [Thesis on subject].<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>500 ## $a Deals with [whatever your identified subject is].<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>If the thesis is in Latin and if you'd like Latin assistance, do feel free to send me an image off-list.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Also (and this may seem an odd last resort, but it's worked for me before now), have you tried Google Books or the "search text" option of archive.org to search for significant phrases? That may pick up something useful.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Best wishes,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Jane<o:p></o:p></p>
