[DCRM-L] STC scope

[David Stumpp]

Thanks, Deborah! I've known for years that those liturgies were present in STC, but I'd never actually considered the subsequent implications regarding STC's scope. In England or territories, in English, OR for use in England, apparently. :-)

Subject: [DCRM-L] STC scope

I learned something new today about the scope of Pollard & Redgrave's STC (and thus of the ESTC): it includes ecclesiastical service books, wherever printed, for use in England and Scotland. The question came from Caroline Duroselle-Melish, our curator of early modern books and prints, who wanted to know why breviaries in Latin with Paris imprints had STC numbers. The answer: they were Sarum rite, i.e., according to the use in Salisbury.
