[DCRM-L] Question re. Unusual Imprint

[Fletcher, Jain]

Hi, Tom,

   I'll let others test the new rules to see if they cover this
situation (so many permutations of publication statements in "real life
situations", it's impossible to be sure they've all been taken care of
in the various scenarios considered in the process of creating rules). I
am just going to respond to one of your points. It's true there is no
indication of where the imprint was done the second time, but my feeling
is that there is a pretty strong possibility that "no indication" means
there was no change (repetition not being worth the extra type). So, for
that reason, I would think you have a fairly good reason to put
[Mittleburg?] in your subfield $a.

Colleagues - 

 

I have a German-language item with the following imprint:

 

Erstlich getruckt zu Mittelburg, im Iahr 1594, nachgetruckt im Iahr
1620.

 

My question is how this would be entered in the 260, since there's no
indication of where the reprint was done.  Would all of this go in the
subfield c, eg.:

 

260 __ $a [Germany? : $b s.n.], $c erstlich getruckt zu Mittelburg, im
Iahr 1594, nachgetruckt im Iahr 1620.

 

Or would a portion of the imprint instead be transcribed in the subfield
a?

 

Many thanks for your advice.
