Describes the relationship between a name and a work. We do Houghton practice is not to use abbreviations. There is a list of relators in the MARC documentation. Those used most often at Houghton are as follows:

 

addressee

annotator

binder

calligrapher

...

illustrator

former owner

photographerrecipient

scribe

signer

translator

Use "scribe" for a medieval manuscript, and usually "copyist" for a modern manuscript except when (a1) the manuscript is not a copy of anything else, e.g., a dictated letter (in which case use scribe), or (b2) the manuscript is intended as calligraphy (in which case use "calligrapher").

Use this subfield particularly in the following two cases: 1.) If the item is an adaptation of a work originally created by another person, the adaptor will get an added entry, and the title of the adaptation should be entered in this subfield; and 2.) If the manuscript contains more than one work by more than one author, then all authors other than the main one will have added 700 entries, and the titles of their works are entered in this subfield. Omit articles. Remember that if the component parts of the manuscript are works by the same author listed in the 100/110, you will not use this field and subfield will not be used, but 740 instead. If the item is about another titled work, use 600 $$t.
