[DCRM-L] Missing title page

[Karen Nelson]

Hello, experts;

Could someone describe best practice for providing a title for a resource for which the title page is missing, but there is no internal evidence - and none externally either - of what the title was?

(Have read DCRM-B 0C3. No title page - and also section 7, Note area.)*

In other such cases I have been able to locate the resource or something related, online, and to consult the title page seen there.
For this one, nada.

I have a rough date (not before 1715) based on content, a subject (or at least, one of them), and a country of publication.
It's probably, but not definitely a theses/dissertation, but 245 $a[Theses] seems lean and not too helpful.


1.       Do I transcribe the opening sentences into 245 and back up with a note?


2.       Use a lean supplied title and put the opening sentences in the note? There are no chapter headings to use in a 505.



3.       None of the above, but something else?



4.       *Am I missing pertinent instruction in DCRM-B?



Thanks, anyone who has time to help.

Karen
