[DCRM-L] Adding punctuation in a 246?

[Erin Blake]

Does one use "common sense in deciding whether to include the punctuation, omit it, replace it, or add punctuation not present" in a 246 for how a title looks on the page? This came up in the close reading of DCRM(G).

Source: SER, SIVE SERICVS VERMIS

245: Ser, siue, Sericus vermis (comma added after Latin "or")

246: Ser, sive Sericus vermis (punctuation as given on the piece)

246: Ser, sive Sericvs vermis (punctuation as given on the piece)


Thanks,


   Erin.
