Manuscript Level:  Bibliography

Definition:  Bibliographic citation pertaining to the manuscript as a whole.

Comment:  In practice, this may be restricted to a de Ricci citation or another similar catalogue entry; in particular, avoid specialist articles; the field is not intended as bibliography for the text (i.e. no printed editions; for which, at most, use the Notes to Text field). For italics and diacritics:

• for italics representing titles: within one opening set of angle brackets, the letter "t"; then the string to be italicized; then within a closing set of angle brackets, the combination "/t"
• for italics representing any other purpose: within one opening set of angle brackets, the letter "i"; then the string to be italicized; then within a closing set of angle brackets, the combination "/i"
• for diacritics: use the character map of the database, available on the top title bar as "ABC . . . 123"

Example:

• de Ricci, p. 1780.
