- 39. The works of an author, and
other books capable of similar treatment, are to
be arranged in the following order, an index or
conspectus of the entire article being prefixed when
expedient:
- (1) General cross-references.
- (2) Collections of all the
works of the author in the original language,
whether including or excluding fragments, and whether
with or without translations or commentaries.
- (a) Dated editions in chronological order.
- (b) Editions without date and without conjecturally supplied date; but if known to be of the 15th century they are to precede the dated editions.
- But new editions of a work by the same editor are to succeed the first entry of the edition.
- (3) Translations without the text, of collected works, in alphabetical order of languages, cross-references being inserted in this series to all editions which contain the original text as well as a translation. Polyglot editions are to precede all others.
- (4) Commentaries without the text, on collected works, in chronological order. Scholia are to precede all other commentaries.
- (5) Selections from collected works.
- (6) Collections of two or more works of the author, in alphabetical order of the general title of the collection; or, if there be none, of the first work of the collection. In special cases entries which would in strictness fall under this division may be placed in the succeeding paragraph, with a cross-reference.
- (7) Separate works, or entire parts of a separate work, in chronological order of the first issues of the works; in any difficult cases an alphabetical or other special arrangement is to be made.
- (8) Fragments of the author; but when a work exists only in fragments it may be entered under preceding paragraphs.
- (9) (a) Lexicons, (b) Indexes and concordances.
- (10) Dissertations, treatises, imitations, etc., which do not fall under preceding heads, in chronological order.
- (11) Biographies.
- (12) Bibliographies.
N. B. The principles of arrangement in the preceding paragraphs are to be used where applicable, in other articles.
