[DCRM-L] Title or edition?

[Deborah J. Leslie]

The most reliable way to figure this out is to track down the first edition. If the first edition is divided in two parts (whether it states it explicitly or not), then it's part of the title. If the division was introduced in a later edition (which seems pretty unlikely), then it's part of the edition statement.

Subject: [DCRM-L] Title or edition?

Dear Group,

I'm working on a record for a book, a picture of the title page of which is attached. I remember my undergraduate Latin well enough get the gist of the information, but what I can't quite fully parse is the relationship of the edition statement to what follows. In other words, is what comes after "Editio ultima" part of the edition statement, in which case a lot would appear in the 250; or is what follows "Editio ultima" really part of the title, in which case it would appear in the 245 (with an appropriate note about transposition)?

BTW, there are a few records for this title in OCLC, but none of them look quite right to me.

Thanks for your help!

All best,

--
