Re: Particular copy of early modern printed edition

Hi Hayim,

I believe it is generally thought that it's perfectly OK to use msDesc 
for things which are not manuscripts. We had a discussion some years ago 
about whether its name should be changed to make such uses seem less 
incongruous. So I would just use msDesc, and get the benefit of being 
able to align your MS metadata with your early modern print metadata 
more easily.

Cheers,
Martin
