[DCRM-L] Forgeries and fakes

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Oh, of course! Yes.

What's the status of the scope note for Literary hoaxes? There is no scope note online, and the discussion on pbworks is inconclusive.

Subject: [DCRM-L] Forgeries and fakes

I'm cataloging the 1855 edition of Shakespeare's works edited by J. Payne Collier, in which he gives the readings according to a "newly-discovered" emended copy of the second folio, which later came out that he himself emended in a forged 17c hand.

I'm looking at the controlled vocabulary for fakery in the printing & publishing vocabulary. Neither "fakes" nor "forgeries" has a scope note. http://www.rbms.info/committees/bibliographic_standards/controlled_vocabularies/printing-publishing/tr294.htm

What do I have? The publication isn't itself a forgery--that would be the copy of the 2nd folio that Collier marked up. Do I have a "fake"?

Information, advice, and musings aloud welcome.

Thanks,
Deborah
