Re: Particular copy of early modern printed edition

Dear Hayim,=20
I would even argue that your particular copy *is* indeed a manuscript, sinc=
e its distinctive feature is marginal notes, presumably handwritten :)

Hi Hayim,

I believe it is generally thought that it's perfectly OK to use msDesc=20
for things which are not manuscripts. We had a discussion some years ago=20
about whether its name should be changed to make such uses seem less=20
incongruous. So I would just use msDesc, and get the benefit of being=20
able to align your MS metadata with your early modern print metadata=20
more easily.

Cheers,
Martin
