ame of the _commentator_. The Bible or
any part of it in any language is entered under the word _Bible_. Books
having more than one author are entered under the first named on the
title.

In the headings of titles, the names of authors are given in their
vernacular form. In English and French surnames beginning with a prefix
(except the French de and d') the name is recorded under the prefix. In
other languages and in French names beginning with de and d', the name
is recorded under the word following the prefix. Compound surnames are
entered under the first part of the name. Noblemen and ecclesiastical
dignitaries are entered under their family names, but _sovereigns,
princes, oriental writers, friars, persons canonized_, and all other
persons known _only_ by their first name, are entered under this first
name.

The catalogue is not a biographical dictionary, so only gives the names
of authors with sufficient fullness to distinguish them from each other
in practical use.

Names in =full face type= are the ruling headings under which the books
are entered in the various catalogues. Entries not beginning with this
type are in addition to the first or main entry, and are made under the
names of _translators, editors, commentators, continuators_, etc., as
participators in the authorship; also in the case of books having more
than one author, or having both generic and specific titles, or published
by societies or other bodies, and having also the name of the individual
author. These additional entries are made in order to carry out the plan
of the Authors' Catalogue, which aims to give under each author's name
all his works which the library contains.

The works of an author known by more than one name are given all
together, under the form of name chosen. Any other name or title by which
he may be known, if it differs in the first three letters, is entered in
its alphabetical place, followed by the word _see_ and the name under
which the books are entered. Such cross references have no titles given
under them, but are simply guides to the name chosen.

A single dash indicates the omission of the preceding heading; a
subsequent dash indicates the omission of a subordinate heading or of a
title. A dash connecting numbers signifies _to and including_; following
a number it signifies _continuation_. A ? following a word or entry
signifies _probably_. Brackets enclose words added to titles or changed
in form.
