For what it's worth, the RDA text Jay quotes is a mash-up of several .18A rules under AACR2 25.18 with a few tweaks here and there to accommodate the dropping of O.T and N.T and to fold in a footnote. Here are the relevant excepts:
25.18A. Bible 25.18A1. General rule. Enter a Testament as a subheading of Bible. Enter a book of the Catholic or Protestant canon as a subheading of the appropriate Testament. 25.18A3. Books. Use the brief citation form of the Authorized Version. 25.18A5. Apocrypha. Enter the collection known as the Apocrypha (1-2 Esdras, Tobit, Judith, Rest of Esther, Wisdom of Solomon, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, History of Susanna, Song of the Three Children, Bel and the Dragon, Prayer of Manasses, 1-2 Maccabees) under Bible. O.T. Apocrypha.[5] Enter an individual book as a further subheading. [5] Do not treat an edition of the Bible lacking these books as being incomplete. RDA 6.23.2.9. Parts of the Bible 6.23.2.9.2 Books. For books of the Catholic or Protestant canon, record the brief citation form of the Authorized Version as a subdivision of the preferred title for the Bible. 6.23.2.9.4 Apochrypha. For the compilation known as the Apocrypha (1-2 Esdras, Tobit, Judith, Rest of Esther, Wisdom of Solomon, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, History of Susanna, Song of the Three Children, Bel and the Dragon, Prayer of Manasses, 1-2 Maccabees), record Apocrypha as a subdivision of the preferred title for the Bible. Do not treat an edition of the Bible lacking these books as being incomplete. [Examples snipped] For an individual book use the name of the book as a further subdivision. Doesn't really answer Jay's question, though. -- Mark K.
