7C7. Edition and bibliographic history
Make notes for the source of any element of the edition area when it is taken from elsewhere than the title page . Make notes for the original position of an element that is transposed to another position in transcription. Example 1
Make notes relating to the edition being described or to the bibliographic history of the work. In citing other works and other manifestations of the same work (other than different editions with the same title proper ), give whatever information is appropriate, such as the title proper (or uniform title), statement of responsibility, edition statement, or date of publication. Arrange the information provided in the form that makes sense in the particular case. (In citing bibliographies and catalogs, however, use the pattern for references to published descriptions shown in 7C14 whenever such a citation occurs in a formal "References:" note.) Example 2
If a statement as to a limited number of copies of the edition appears, give this statement of limitation in a note, preferably in quoted form. Example 3
When the statement of limitation includes the unique number of the copy being cataloged, give only the statement of limitation here. Give the copy number as a copy-specific note (cf. 7C18 ). Example 4
Alternatively, give the entire statement of limitation and the copy number as a copy-specific note.
