Cataloging Biblical Materials

Cataloging Instructions for Editions of Biblical Texts


When a book of Psalms or Gospels is published as a Biblical book, it would simply contain the Biblical text (or a selection), and its purpose would be to provide the sacred text for reading or study. In the case of the Psalms, even as a Biblical text, they are inherently liturgical, i.e., they contain brief liturgical directions. Nevertheless, the purpose of the edition in hand would be to provide only the Biblical text. In these cases use the headings

Bible.‡pN.T.‡pGospels
