<div>Hi all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I’m working on a bibliography and would like to transcribe the title. It is printed in Samson uncial (as is all the text in the book), and has no upper- or lower-case letters (or font size changes that allow a best guess).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Although it’s a modern font (designed by Victor Hammer, cut by Rudolf Koch’s son), this is the first time I’ve tried to transcribe uncial and I’m stumped. There’s no guidance in DCRM(B) or in McKerrow, etc. AMREM says to use the capitalization rules in
AACR2R (app. A) for capitalization.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I’m torn between three choices for transcription: all caps, all lowercase, or caps in the expected positions but enclosed in square brackets. An explanation of the font will be given, but any suggestions for actual transcription would be much appreciated.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you!</div>
