[DCRM-L] Subfield $5 / Several cataloguing questions

[Deborah J. Leslie]

I would consider the second note to be strictly copy-specific and code
it 590.

Life has kindly thrown me a good example of the sort of
non-unique/non-universal states that seem to warrant a 500 $5, but I'd
be interested in knowing how my colleagues would tag this information.
The message to be taken away from this pair of notes is something like
"Note that your copy may differ--if that matters to you."

General note (500):

One of 2 editions not distinguished by Wing. In this edition (ESTC
R226090) the W of "Warre" and "Williams" is a composite of 2 fitted V
types (with the top of the right-hand upright of the first V filed off);
in the other edition (ESTC R18346) the W's are represented by 2 adjacent
V's ("VVarre" and "VVilliams").

Quasi-general note immediately following (500):

One of 2 Brown University copies of this edition (lacking title, but
inferrable as having a "Warre" title based on the remaining leaves of
gathering A) actually represents a mixture of the 2 editions recorded in
ESTC, with gatherings C-Q, S-T from the same setting of type as the
British Library copy of ESTC R18346 (VVarre) reproduced in Early English
Books/EEBO (UMI 380:09); Brown's other copy differs from the BL copy
throughout. Gatherings A-B, R, V-2D are from the same setting in both
Brown copies, i.e. neither evidences yet a third setting of type.|5RPB
