[DCRM-L] dcrmb &c.

[Barry E. Hinman]

Deborah is too polite to say so, but the information about the code is 
found on p. 151 of the book [as I found after being one of the first, 
probably, to fling this question at her].

Comment on 1A2.2. [p. 47]: I wonder if something fell out here.  Deborah 
already sent a message saying that she thought that she remembered 
something specific being said about privileges, and I had an exchange of 
emails with her and with Brian Hilliard which left me with the 
impression that something specific was going to be said about 
dedications.  Specifically, when a dedication is embedded in the title, 
it seems obvious that it would either be transcribed, or, if omitted, 
that one would use the marks of omission.  But the reference here is to 
0G5.2, which says not to use the marks of omission, and refers you back 
here for a further description of what "constitutes neither title 
information nor a statement of responsibility."

It is clear that the whole thrust of the new rules is to transcribe what 
is there [cf., for example, 4C2, p. 88, where the rule about omitting 
statements such as Printer to the King and addresses is removed and the 
examples show a much fuller transcription], and that would seem to apply 
to dedications certainly, to privileges if you consider them a part of 
the imprint area, and even perhaps to prices.
