Re: [LegacyUG] TR: Duplicate

2022-11-01 Thread John Cardinal 
I would not be in favor of that as a date term. It’s not a modifier of the 
date, like “before”, “after”, or “between”. It’s an abbreviation of a 
past-tense verb, like “born”, “died”, “lived”, etc., and those are not date 
terms. You see born, died, etc., in phrases, such as a lifespan, but those 
verbs are not part of the date, they are a peer to the date where, for example, 
“born” answers “what?” and the date answers “when?”.

 

I wouldn’t object to “fl” if used to indicate a minimum lifespan when no 
evidence has been found for birth or death, but there are other ways of 
indicating that, and those methods are widely supported, such as using “bef 
” in a birth event when you have date evidence from another event.

Would it be possible to accept the abbreviation fl in the date field?

 

 

Floruit

>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Floruit (  /ˈflɔːrju.ɪt/; abbr. 
fl. or occasionally flor.; from   
Latin   floruit 'he/she 
flourished') denotes a date or period during which a person was known to have 
been alive or active.  
[1]  [2] In English, the 
unabbreviated word may also be used as a   
noun indicating the time when someone flourished. 
 [1]

Etymology and use[ 
 edit]

  Latin: flōruit is the 
third-person singular perfect active indicative of the Latin verb flōreō, 
flōrēre "to bloom, flower, or flourish", from the noun flōs, flōris, "flower". 
 [3] 
 [2]

Broadly, the term is employed in reference to the peak of activity for a person 
or movement. More specifically, it often is used in  
 genealogy and historical writing when 
a person's birth or death dates are unknown, but some other evidence exists 
that indicates when they were alive. 
 [4] For example, if 
there are   wills  
 attested by John Jones in 
1204, and 1229, and a record of his marriage in 1197, a record concerning him 
might be written as "John Jones (fl. 1197–1229)".

The term is often used in   art 
history when dating the career of an artist. In this context, it denotes the 
period of the individual's artistic activity. 
 [5]

In some cases, it can be replaced by the words "active between [date] and 
[date]", depending on context and if space or style permits.

Okay. I apologize then as I've never seen it. I work with applications for
the Daughters of the American Revolution and they don't use it.
