Dear rare book catalogers, I am for the first time providing a chronogram for a pre-1800 Hebrew book in a note field in both transliteration and native script:
We do not have any official guidelines in current Hebraica RDA cataloging documentation for recreating a chronogram from a resource so I am emulating how it would be recorded in Bibliography of the Hebrew book. For the work that I am currently working on I have done it in the following manner: 500 Date of publication derived from chronogram: ע’ל’ מ’ש’פ’ט’ו’ ישב 500 Date of publication derived from chronogram: ʻA.l' m'i'sh'p'a'ṭo yeshev I would greatly appreciate any feedback from experienced rare book catalogers. Sincerely, Heidi Lerner Heidi G. Lerner Metadata Librarian for Hebraica and Judaica Metadata Dept. Stanford University Libraries Stanford, CA 94305-6004 ph: 650-725-9953 fax: 650-725-1120 e-mail: ler...@stanford.edu
