[DCRM-L] transcription of info following curly bracket

[Deborah J. Leslie]

I think we didn't include a rule because it's best left to cataloger's
judgment. Either Stephen's (transcribe Chez once) or Annie's (transcribe
Chez once, and supply it the second time) would be fine. What wouldn't
be fine is to transcribe Chez twice.

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?

(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,
