Books are to be entered under the:
Surnames of authors when ascertained, the abbreviation "Anon." being added to the titles of anonymous works.
Initials of authors' names when these only are known, the last initial being put first.
Pseudonyms of the writers when the real names are not ascertained.
Names of editors of collections, each separate item to be at the same time sufficiently catalogued under its own heading.
Names of countries, cities, societies, or other bodies which are responsible for their publication.
First word (not an article or serial number) of the titles of periodicals and of anonymous books, the names of whose authors are not known. And a motto or the designation of a series may be neglected when it begins a title, and the entry may be made under the first word of the real title following.
Commentaries accompanying a text, and translations, are to be entered under the heading of the original work; but commentaries without the text under the name of the commentator. A book entitled "Commentary on ...." and containing the text, should be put under both.
The Bible, or any part of it (including the Apocrypha), in any language, is to be entered under the word Bible.
The Talmud and Koran (and parts of them) are to be entered under those words; the sacred books of other religions are to be entered under the names by which they are generally known; references to be given from the names of editors, translators, etc.
