[DCRM-L] Oddity of bound with/signatures

Since it has its own title page it should definitely be cataloged as an
independent publication. The fact that it was issued as a supplement or
continuation still doesn't justify a 501 in the record for *Opera omnia*,
which is a complete manifestation as issued without it in 1687; but the
same is also true of *De structura glandularum*, since it can stand alone,
despite the obvious link between the two publications indicated by the
signatures. You should end up with two bib records containing complementary
publication and "with" notes.

Incidentally, the corresponding ICCU OPAC SBN records
are IT\ICCU\UFIE\000616 (*Opera omnia*) and IT\ICCU\PUVE\010106 (*De
structura glandularum*) at
