General errata:
- Re: "Brevigraph" ...
- Reconsider definition. Make a distinction between manuscript, in which an ampersand is a brevigraph, and print, in which it is simply a siglum representing 'and'?
- "A brevigraph is a symbol that represents two or more letters in a word. Brevigraphs were used regularly in old books and manuscripts. The symbols are generally not available in any standard character set, including Unicode." (https://everything2.com/title/brevigraph)
- "brevigraphs, such as '&' (or other characters meaning the same) for and or Latin et (as in '&c.' for etc.)." (https://www.english.cam.ac.uk/ceres/ehoc/conventions.html)
- "A breviograph or brevigraph (from Latin: brevis, short, and Greek: grapho, to write) is a type of scribal abbreviation in the form of an easily written symbol, character, flourish or stroke, based on a modified letter form to take the place of a common letter combination, especially those occurring at the beginning or end of a word. Breviographs were used frequently by stenographers, law clerks and scriveners, and they were also found in early printed books and tracts.[1] Their use declined after the 17th century." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breviograph)
Area 0 errata:
- 0C/0D. Chief source of information/Prescribed sources of information
- Re: decision to move sentence (“Do not transcribe any information that is not present in a prescribed source for that area”) to 0C as “Transcribe information found in the chief source”; B4 deleted sentence from 0D, but did not add anything to 0C about transcribing from the chief source because 0C isn’t about transcription, but about identifying the chief source. Discuss.
- 0G5.2. Information not considered part of any area
- Re: addition of “statements of privilege” and removal of “prices”; “statements of privilege” not added to B; silent omission from C is a format-related deviation; discuss removal of “prices”; agreed that it is part of area 8, but prices need to be mentioned with the other things that are silently omitted
- 0G8.2. If special marks of contraction ...
- Re: “However, transcribe an ampersand or a Tironian sign ( ) as an ampersand.” Revisit Tironian note. Change example to black letter ampersand?
Area 4 errata:
- 4A3.3. ... re: capitalization: Review for capitalization. Acc. to Chicago, although 'king' and other such titles are now lower case when used alone (8.23, 8.32: e.g. the king of Jordan), honorific titles including personal pronouns is still upper case (8.23, 5.40: e.g. Queen Elizabeth, Her Majesty the Queen of England). the Kynges Noble Grace is therefore upper case. Q: add comment to 4A3.3? (DJL posted to DCRM-L; received response from Erin Blake, Sep 7, 2019) RESOLVED
- 4D5. Patterns for supplying a conjectural date
- See Area 4 errata. Query sent to DCRM-L 2019-11-09
- 4E-4G: Manufacture information
- Rewrite or add new instructions for application to MARC 264--await revision done as part of DCRM
Area 7 errata:
- 7B4.2. Partial or complete transcriptions
- Reword example to show a partial or complete transcription, to reflect rule. See DCRMG.
Glossary:
- Need to discuss entry for "brevigraph".

Re: glossary entry. DCRM deals with many archaic conventions without calling them out in this manner. Devise a definition more in keeping with existing approaches
