Although the Lightfoot volumes contain the original text of the Epistles, their value may be said to lie in the notes and dissertations which bring them under the monograph-commentary arrangement. They may, further, be regarded as a single work in three volumes--as in reality they are, though it is not so stated on the title-pages. The entries for subject are
=Paul, St.=: Lightfoot, J. B. St. Paul's Epistles. 3 v. 1884-1902 1. Galatians 227.4 2. Philippians 227.6 3. Colossians and Philemon 227.7 Pridham, A. Notes, &c. on the Epistle to the Philippians. [1879] 227.6
References can be given from the names of the several Epistles, always provided there are books upon them under the heading, as
Galatians, Epistle to the. _See_ Paul, St.
Those who have but limited space at their disposal may consider that the principal entries above given under Lightfoot are too full, and should be reduced. In their case the style given under "Paul, St." may, with a little amplification, be taken to afford more definite information, as
LIGHTFOOT, J. B., _Bp._ St. Paul's Epistles; with intros., notes, &c. 3 v. 1. Galatians. 1902 227.4 2. Philippians. 1900 227.6 3. Colossians and Philemon. 1884 227.7
The cataloguing of the Bible or its parts, and books upon it, presents little or no trouble in the classified catalogue, as the systems of classification are very fully and carefully worked out under this division, as in Dewey's 220 to 229.
The editions of the sacred books of other religions will not be so many in most libraries, and consequently need no special consideration. The following two books upon the Koran will suggest the method of entry for others:
Koran, The; transl. from the Arabic by J. M. Rodwell. (_Everyman's lib_.) [1909] 297 Wherry, E. M. Commentary on the Qurán, comprising Sale's translation. 4 v. 1896 297
References are necessary from the names of the religions concerned.
Varieties of the name, as Qurán and Coran, hardly need notice for reference purposes, as presumably a searcher would not fail to look under Koran. The same remark applies to Mahomet and Muhammed, though a reference from Islam to Mohammedanism is desirable. A reference from Christianity to the Bible would be superfluous.
