Printing shelfmarks in bibliography corresp

[nafisa-valieva]

Hello! I am sorry in advance for any possible mistakes in formulating the issue. I have a question in connection to [https://github.com/BetaMasaheft/Documentation/issues/2690#issuecomment-2476360878], but from a different perspective. Henok was edited and translated several times (Erho´s article counts 7 lines). I have checked the guidelines, but could not find an example fitting this case. At the moment LIT1340EnochE contains Geez text of undefined origin and no ListWit at all. I would like to encode information about manuscripts used for various editions and translations as clearly as possible, but for the moment I am not sure how. I hope someone can point me to the right example / suggest a good strategy or just tell me that I should wait till there is a solution.
Thank you very much in advance!

The association of bibliography and editions is done by providing xml:id for each witness and linking editions and texts to these sigla in corresp. This is why witnesses used in an edition must have an xml:id as the guidelines say.

see e.g. LIT1709Kebran
which has

<listWit rend="edition">
                        <witness corresp="BNFet5" xml:id="bnfet5">BnF éthiopien 5</witness>
                       <witness corresp="BNFet146" xml:id="bnfet146">BnF éthiopien 146</witness>
                       <witness corresp="BNFabb97" xml:id="bnfabb97">BnF d'Abbadie 97</witness>
                       <witness corresp="BNFabb132" xml:id="bnfabb132">BnF d'Abbadie 132</witness>
                       <witness corresp="BNFabb152" xml:id="bnfabb152">BnF d'Abbadie 152</witness>
                        <witness corresp="BLorient818" xml:id="blor818">BL oriental 818</witness>
                       <witness corresp="BLorient819" xml:id="blor819">BL oriental 819</witness>
                        <witness corresp="EMML50" xml:id="emml50">EMML 50</witness>
                        <witness corresp="ANLcr27" xml:id="anlcr27">ANL Conti Rossini 27</witness>
                        <witness corresp="BDLbruce87" xml:id="bdlbruce87">Bodleian Bruce 87</witness>
                        <witness corresp="BDLbruce93" xml:id="bdlbruce93">Bodleian Bruce 93</witness>
                       <witness corresp="BerOrFol395" xml:id="berlin395">Berlin, SPK or. fol. 395</witness>
                    </listWit>

and then e.g.

<listBibl type="editions">
                 ...
                 <bibl corresp="#bnfet5 #bnfet146 #bdlbruce93 #bdlbruce87 #berlin395 #blor818 #blor819">
                    <ptr target="bm:Bezold1905KebraN"/>
                 </bibl>
              </listBibl>

(PS for a good example of an edition (though not multiple, but tecnically it is the same, we can have as many as needed) see LIT4916PhysB where Massimo edited chapter 4. As far as I can see the apparatus is visualized nicely.)

Thank you very much! it is very helpful! I am not sure whether it is a problem of encoding or visualisation, in case it is a matter of visualisation, would it be possible not to have ´about´ in the Editions Bibliography (about: witness , Kǝbra nagaśt, Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, BnF Éthiopien 5Kǝbra nagaśt, Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, BnF Éthiopien 5Kǝbra nagaśt, Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, BnF Éthiopien 5Kǝbra nagaśt, Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, BnF Éthiopien 5Kǝbra nagaśt, Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, BnF Éthiopien 5Kǝbra nagaśt, Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, BnF Éthiopien 5Kǝbra nagaśt, Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, BnF Éthiopien 5)?

yes, I can modify the way the shelfmark is printed, but since this is not a true bug and just a question of aesthetics I would for the moment put it on the wishlist and wait for the new release if that is OK and you can wait a bit

Probably for such cases the best workaround would be to not print the shelfmark in full but just the sigla assigned with a link?
