[DCRM-L] Oddity of bound with/signatures

[Ted P Gemberling]

Richard,
Thanks for the help with this. Here’s one point, though: I would think you could use a 501 in the De structura glandularum record since the signatures suggest the edition is meant to be issued with the Opera Omnia. But definitely no 501 in its record. Don’t we have to assume that van der Aa produced this edition of De structura glandularum to be issued with his 1687 Opera Omnia?

Thanks for the link to the ICCU catalog. Do you find that catalog helpful?
Thanks, Ted

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

Richard,
It does have its own title page, with date 1690.

Are you saying I should use two records, with the main one with a 500 note indicating that De structura glandularum is sometimes bound with Opera omnia, and a 590 indicating our library’s copy has it? Then on the second record, I might use a 501 indicating De structura glandularum  was issued with the Opera Omnia? That seems like it would cover the situation well.

I notice that #223442238, along with the 501, uses a 740 for the 1690 work rather than a second record. That seems less accurate to me since the date for the entire work, given in the fixed field, is 1687.
Thanks, Ted

Off the top of my head: I assume that the 1690 De structura gladularum was issued as a supplement to Opera omnia (which were no longer truly "omnia"). Has it a title page of its own, or just a caption title? The only independent publication of it that I can find is the London edition published by Richard Chiswell--probably the first edition, as was the London edition of Opera omnia.

If copies of Opera omnia that do contain this supplemental work have the original title page, then its presence in any one copy is essentially multiple-item-specific (so to speak). One should account for its possible presence in a 500 note in the general record; a "with" note relating to it would be local 590. An analytic ought to be made for the supplement, and since it doesn't appear to have been issued independently by Van der Aa, it should have a general note regarding the circumastances of its publication--which could be a 501, I suppose, though I don't think there's a great deal of gain in so tagging it.

I am cataloging Marcello Malpighi’s Opera Omnia, published at Leiden by Pieter van der Aa in 1687. The OCLC record I am using is #4992775. I ran into an oddity that I wanted to run by people on the list. The last gathering in the 2-volume work is 3F(superscript 4). Immediately following leaf 3F4 in my copy is another work of his called De structurâ glandularum conglobatarum consiliúmque partium epistola, also published by van der Aa in 1690. The odd thing is that the signatures of this work are 3G-3H(superscript 4). Do you think it’s just a coincidence that the signatures are continuous though the date is later?

Thanks for any enlightenment.
