[DCRM-L] transcription of info following curly bracket

[Stephen A Skuce]

I don't think we've included a rule for this, and I can't remember why not, but the practice is pretty clear, I think.

You definitely would not transcribe "Chez" more than once; it only appears once.

I would give the 260 roughly as:

$b Chez Brunet Libraire ... , Vente Libraire ...,  $c MDCCLXXXIII [1783]

and definitely include a note:
500     On title page, the publishers are gathered by a left brace, relating each name to the word "chez."

All,

I remember talking about this question at the time of DCRM(B) publication, but can't locate the rule.

In a situation where Chez appears once but is clearly meant to apply to both names following a left curly bracket, would we supply [Chez] in transcribing the second name?

Randy Brandt has supplied a link to an example (THANKS, Randy):

(Attn: Nina and Eduardo - This would be a good discussion point for the Examples to Accompany DCRM(B). I have a book with six names following a left curly bracket!)



Thanks,
