[DCRM-L] genre term needed

[Ryan Hildebrand]

Hi Estelle,

The RBMS Provenance Evidence thesaurus has the terms Authors’ copies (Use for copies of an author's work known or thought to have been part of that author's personal library or used by that author, not simply presented or inscribed by the author) as well as Authors’ annotations (no scope note). Would these be helpful?

Best,

Subject: [DCRM-L] genre term needed

Good afternoon, all!

I am looking at a small collection of one book: William Foxwell Albright's From stone age to Christianity. Because the APS has Albright's papers, we have his personal books, including his own copies of his books. Most interestingly, we have copies of his books that he edited in order to revise those books for the next editions.

Is there a term for this sort of book?

I've got the genre term "Marginalia" already, but this is more than marginalia, I think.

All thoughts are welcome.
