[DCRM-L] use of SD early works under SH Jesus Christ

[Nickeson, Walter]

I think that the combination of subfields "[personal name] $x [subject subdivision]" can be considered, as a unit, to be a "topical heading," and can therefore be followed by "$v Early works to 1800." What isn't allowed is the simple combination "[personal name] $v Early works to 1800." "Jesus Christ--Passion" is a topic in a way that "Jesus Christ" is not. Exactly how that is, perhaps someone else can explain.

Subject: [DCRM-L] use of SD early works under SH Jesus Christ

Simple question:
Can the SD "Early works to 1800" be used under the SH Jesus
Christ|Subdivision (Passion, Divinity. etc.) 
It is authorized under Jesus Christ|vBiography, but that seems to be the
only one specified.
Rules say not to use it under names of persons, but I'm not sure if that
applies to notable religious figures 
and practice is inconsistent just about everywhere I've checked.

Thanks
