[DCRM-L] False vs Fictitious imprints...

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Well, in practical terms, there are separate RBMS genre terms for 'fictitious imprints' and 'false imprints'.

Is it because intent is important? For example, a book published at "Pooh Corner" - obviously meant to be amusing - and a book published in "Cologne" when the real pub place is Amsterdam, where the book is intended to be marketed to a Catholic audience, so the place of pub is important (during the Counter-Reformation at least). The first is fictitious, the second is false, and there is a difference in intentionality in the use of place

No problem with your test. My practical question is, is there a cataloging reason why it is important that I determine that place X is fictitious vs. false, or vice versa? Will I treat the information in a different way depending on if it’s “fictitious” or if it’s “false”? 4B9 just has us copy what’s there and add in brackets the correct place if we know it.

Practical (though perhaps supererogatory) reason: For the information of those who cannot satisfactorily resolve the test I suggested, whether from lack of knowledge or lack of confidence?

Aside from being an interesting discussion, is there a practical reason why it is important to label an imprint as “fictitious” rather than “false”?
