I like this idea! And I'm quite willing to transcribe the whole chronogram in a note--my only question is whether the SOURCE of the chronogram (Ps. 92:12 or the like)--not the CONTENT of the chronogram, whether or not it refers to the content of the item or the author's name-- is

I haven't been following this discussion that closely, but what is generally done in roman script books that contain chronograms? I would expect something like, in the 260, having the chronogram transcribed with the derived date in brackets, with a 5xx describing the chronogram and how the date

I agree, but there's no reason why it can't be an optional note. - Original Message - From: Yossi Galron [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: heb-naco@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 12:27 PM Subject: Re: proposed draft RDA rule on 260s I don't think adding the source

IMHO, I do not think that *identifying* the source of the chronogram is bibliographically significant, and would advise against incorprating this idea into the rules, even on an optional basis. My understanding is that we should be thinking in terms of recommendations that make the rules

I'll let Lenore give a fuller answer, as she's the one who drafted the chronogram part of our draft, but for sure one problematic part of this issue is that we DON'T want to add elements to our transcription that are not actually on the item--such as gereshes or other markers. The ideal is to

I would suggest the way I am doing it: I am recording the whole Chronogram and adding a Geresh after each of the Bold letters if not all letters are to be counted. See: http://library.ohio-state.edu/search/o?SEARCH=34532012 In the above case, only the Shin-mem-shin in the verse are to be
