Manuscript Level:  Nickname

Definition:  Name commonly used to refer to a famous manuscript.

Comment:  Will occur only rarely. Don't proliferate the use of nicknames by citing in-house names because no one else will know that name, and use of it will only cause confusion at best, and "loose" manuscripts at worst. If a manuscript has been cited by W. Fitzgerald, Ocelli nominum it is reasonable to assume that its nickname warrants repetition, otherwise probably not.

Example:

• Hungarian Legendary [for UCB 130:f1300:37]
• Ellesmere Chaucer [for Huntington Library, EL 26 C 9]

Properties:  Data type: text. Field size: 50 characters.
