[DCRM-L] "Double" punctuation query

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Not to answer your specific question, Larry, but to observe that the
point of requiring prescribed punctuation in addition to original
punctuation is precisely so that the t.p. would not be construed
differently.

Subject: [DCRM-L] "Double" punctuation query

Folks,
For those of you who do not make use of the provision in DCRM(B) and its

predecessors to record the original punctuation of the title page
(DCRM(B) 
0G3.1 alternative rule), how do you handle cataloging copy which does 
record the original punctuation?  Do you eliminate all but the
prescribed 
punctuation or do you leave the copy as is?

What would you do if the result of eliminating the original punctuation 
might lead to a different construal of the t.p.

This is what is on the Desc a record:

24514 [He Kaine Diatheke ].= ?b Novum Testamentum. Post priores Steph. 
Curcelli, tum & DD. Oxoniensium labores; quibus parallela Scripturae
loca 
nec non variantes lectiones ex plus c. mss. codd. & antiquis versionibus

collectae, exhibentur; accedit tantus locor. parall. numerus, quantum 
nulla adhuc, ac ne vix quidem ipsa profert praestantiss. Editio
Milliana; 
variantes praeterea ex ms Vindobonensi; ac tandem crisis perpetua, qua 
singulas variantes earumque valorem aut originem ad XLIII. canones 
examinat G.D.T.M.D. cum ejusdem prolegomenis, & notis in fine adjectis.

250 Editio altera priori auctior atque emendatior.

If I were doing this from scratch and not using copy, I would probably 
insert a / $c before Post.

Thanks,
Larry
