Re: Hatam Sofer

2010-01-29 Thread Joan C Biella
The argument from the pronunciation of Chasam Sofer sounds good to me.

Would anyone else like to contribute to this discussion?

If I don't hear to the contrary from anyone by next Monday, Feb. 1st, I'll 
change LC's he-Hatam Sofers to ha-Hatam Sofers.

Radak is not a good analogy because it's a stand-alone. It seems likely that 
Hatam is in semikhut with Sofer. Why wouldn't it be? Furthermore, Orthodox 
Ashkenazim pronounce his name Chasam Sofer. If there were a kamats under the 
het and tav it would be Chosom.

Hebrew equivalent for et al.

2010-01-29 Thread Benamou, Sharon
I am having a hard time finding Hebrew abbreviations.  If I have a work
of mixed responsibility and need to use an [et al.] in the 245, what is
the equivalent to  be used in the Hebrew script field?  AACR2 has the
abbreviation for un andere, but not for the Hebrew.

 

Thanks,

Sharon

Do you want each cataloger to reply individually, or a single response for each

Good luck for the success of your survey.
