Subject: Cataloging: 007 & 534 with manuscript reproductions?
 
[this message is being cross-posted on AUTOCAT]
 
 
When a manuscript map explicitly states that it is a copy or a tracing of
an earlier map--or when an extremly close ressemblance is obvious--it seems
useful to give particulars of the original in a 534.  May I do so, or is
that field reserved for the originals of exact mechanical reproductions?
And how shall I complete the final three boxes on the Map format 007?
 
The cases in hand concern copies of the Visscher map or its analogues, all
well illustrated in Tooley 1980, The Mapping of America, which I'd like to
cite in a 510.  May I get away with using the 510 for citations which
actually refer to the 534?
