[DCRM-L] transcription of info following curly bracket

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Yes, Eduardo's right. In that case, I would supply the second Chez in square brackets as the first word of the second ‡b, and make a note.

I think Stephen is right, except the second bookseller would be transcribed as a subsequent statement, i.e. separated by a space-colon-space, yes?

(In the example there’s a full stop after the first bookseller.)

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!)
