A collection management system works much better with separate records. It will be able to handle acquisition, credit line, provenance, location tracking, conservation, exhibition, loans, etc. information much better, especially that the two items remain physically separate. Even though a library system can easily accommodate an extra item record and perform library transactions at the item level, once you need to move and use the record in a different system, it is difficult to tease out data elements that are for the codex and the ones for the leaf. Another consideration is the content of the leaf. If it is a full-page miniature, you may opt to describe it under the illuminator with a title for the content of the image, and elaborate on the connection to the codex in the notes and additional access points.</div><div><br></div><div>Enjoy this wonderful new acquisition!</div><div><br></div><div>Maria<br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">--</span><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Maria Oldal</div><div>Manager of Collections Information and Library Systems<br></div><div>The Morgan Library & Museum</div><div>225 Madison Avenue</div><div>New York, NY 10016</div><div>Tel: 212-590-0382</div><div>Email: <a href="mailto:oldalm@themorgan.org" target="_blank">oldalm@themorgan.org<br></a></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jun 26, 2023 at 5:18 PM Rebecca Flore via DCRM-L <<a href="mailto:dcrm-l@lib.byu.edu" target="_blank">dcrm-l@lib.byu.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My library recently acquired a manuscript leaf that at some point in its history was removed from a codex manuscript that we hold. For anyone whose library has reunited two parts of the same manuscript like this, how did you handle the
cataloging? Did you catalog them as two separate resources, or did you catalog them as a single resource with a note about how the number of physical units of the manuscript in hand differs from the number of units originally produced? In terms of physical
arrangement, we plan to shelve the leaf and the codex next to each other, with the leaf in its own box.
