[DCRM-L] works by Joseph Pellicer de Touar

[Caro Martín, Adelaida]

Hi, Michelle,

Sorry for intruding: the author (José Pellicer de Ossau y Tovar (1602-1679) in our authority record) is a pretty well known Spanish historian and writer and we have hundreds of editions of his work. I have checked and I don't see his work from the period you mention (1647-1673) catalogued as a collection neither at our catalogue (http://catalogo.bne.es/uhtbin/webcat) nor at the Spanish Bibliographic Heritage Union Catalogue (http://www.mcu.es/bibliotecas/MC/CCPB/Index.html), which is the most useful tool to find old Spanish editions. The thing with Pellicer is that his work is huge, and he has many works on genealogy, so it wouldn't be a surprise if someone just bound them together.

In case it helps...

Regards,

Asunto: [DCRM-L] works by Joseph Pellicer de Touar

Dear catalogers of rare materials,

This is my first post to the list so please bear with me.

I am cataloging a 2 volume set of works by Pellicer de Touar, Joseph, 1602-1679.  Each work has its own title page.  Publication dates vary from approximately 1647 to 1673, all in Madrid.  There are about 15 to 20 of these altogether.  A lot of them seem to be in OCLC.

What I'm wondering about is whether to catalog them as a collection.  I am not sure when they were bound together. The binding (brown leather?) does look quite old but I am no expert.  The textblock (I hope I am using the write term) is uniform (all even) and appears to be pink/red speckled, although perhaps it was once solid red.  The spines are gold engraved with: PELLICER GENEALO.   TOM. I    TOM. II.

If cataloging them as a collection is not an option, can I create a record with spine title or perhaps I can supply the title myself and then put all the separate titles in the 245 field or 505 field and trace each with a 740?

Any help will be appreciated!

Thank you so much.

Michele
