3.26.1 Element information
3.26.1.2 Sources of information
3.26.2 RDA definition and scope
3.26.2.1 A note on manifestation that provides information on an edition of a manifestation.
3.26.3 General rule
3.26.3.1 Make a Note on edition statement according to the instructions below. In most cases, notes are optional (designated by “if considered important”). Some notes are required (designated by “always”).
3.26.31 Source and position of edition statement
3.26.31.1 Always note the source of any element of the Edition statement that is taken from elsewhere than the preferred source of information (see 3.01.1, 3.22.33.2, 3.22.35.4, 3.24.32.2, and 3.21.42.Y.Y).
Example:
Edition statement from half-title
Example:
Number line on title page verso indicates 1st printing: “10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1”(Comment: Example follows alternative rule to create a separate bibliographic description for an individual impression or state)
3.26.31.2 When transposing, always note the original position of any element that is transposed to another position in transcription (see 3.21.3.2, 3.22.36.1, 3.255.3.4, 3.23.32.3, 3.23.33.3, 3.235.3.4, 3.24.3.2, 3.24.33.1, and 3.25.31.3).
Example:
Edition statement printed at head of title page
Example:
Edition statement precedes author’s name on title page
Exception: For still image resources without title pages, do not note transposition.
3.26.32 No edition statement
3.26.32.1 Always record edition information, such as an Edition statement that is provided by a bibliographic or reference source for resources not containing an edition statement, but known to contain significant changes from other editions, as a Note on edition statement (see 3.21.31.1).
Example:
Second edition (E.2A) as described by D. Smith(Comment: The formal citation for D. Smith’s bibliography is given in a Manifestation described by note (see 9.32.31.2))
Exception: For still image resources without title pages, see 3.26.42.Y.Y.
3.26.32.2 Make a note on statements referring to other editions (e.g., as part of a preface to an earlier edition or a summary of the work’s publication history) if considered important (see 3.21.31.2).
Example:
Contains “Preface to the tenth edition,” dated 1876
3.26.34 Edition statements relating to issues or parts
3.26.34.1 Make a Note on edition statement relating to issues or parts of a multipart monograph if the manifestation consists of multiple issues or parts, and there are edition statements relating to the whole as well as to the parts (see Edition statement, 3.21.35.2). Record the edition statement relating to the whole manifestation as an Edition statement (see 3.21.35.1).
3.26.35 Nonce collections
3.26.35.1 Always make a Note on edition statement of differences in edition statements from one part to another in nonce collections (volumes made up of previously published pamphlets reissued by a publisher or bookseller, sometimes with a collective title page) (see 3.21.36.1). If edition statements of parts vary between exemplars of a manifestation, record the edition statements of the item in hand relating to individual parts in a Note on item (see 9.4.32.1 and 3.21.36.2).
Example:
Set made up of various editions: v. 1, 10th ed.; v. 3, 4th ed., corr.; v. 7, 3d ed., corr.; v. 9-11, 2d ed.
3.26.36 Edition statements on multipart monographs
3.26.36.1 If the Edition statement varies or does not appear on all volumes of a multipart monograph, and it was issued as such, always make a Note on edition statement explaining which edition statement appears on which volume and/or indicating the absence of edition statements (see 3.21.37.1 and 3.21.37.2).
Example:
Volume 2 issued without the edition statement
3.26.42.Y.Y Supplied and devised edition statements for still image resources
3.26.42.1.Y.Y Always record the source of a supplied Edition statement as a Note on edition statement (see 3.21.42.1.Y.Y).
Example:
Edition statement: [2nd state]
Note on edition statement: State from Klipstein(Comment: Complete citation for Klipstein is given in a Manifestation described by note (see 9.32.31.2))
(Ingest comment: example needs review)
3.26.42.2.Y.Y If not readily apparent, record the justification for a devised Edition statement as a Note on edition statement (see 3.21.42.1.Y.Y).
Example:
Edition statement: [Unrecorded statement between 1 and 2]
Note on edition statement: Between Pennington’s states 1 and 2. The original dedication has been removed, but neither the replacement used in state 2 nor the number in lower left are yet present(Comment: Statement devised by cataloger based on catalogue raisonné. Complete citation for Pennington is given in a Manifestation described by note (see 9.32.31.2))
(Ingest comment: example needs review)
3.26.42.3.Y.Y If applying the option to supply an edition statement found in a reference source even when the description includes sufficient information to disambiguate states, always give the source of the information and any needed explanation in a Note on edition statement (see Edition statement, 3.21.42.2.Y.Y).
Example:
Title proper: Effigies Paraselci medici celeberrimi
Statement of responsibility: P.P. Rub pinxit ; R. Gaywood fecit
Edition statement: [State i]
Note on edition statement: Edition statement from Pennington. In state ii, “W. Hollar sculp.” replaced “R. Gaywood fecit” in the statement of responsibility(Comment: The formal citation for Pennington is given in a Manifestation described by note (see 9.32.31.2). Example formatted with ISBD punctuation for clarity)
