Re: Chim Babitz

[Heidi Lerner]

Dear Barry,

Unfortunately I think that the answer is that we would have to establish it 
this way since that is how it appears on the prescribed source of authority, 
i.e., romanized prominently on the piece in hand.  We can revise the 670 if 
we feel that is warranted by inserting "'[sic'] after the citation of the 
romanized form.

We can also add a 670 for OCLC, Nov. 30, 2007$b(hdg.: Babitz, Chaim) and add 
a reference from Babitz, Chaim, 1908- which would at least provide a link 
for this form.

If I am incorrect in how to handle this I look forward to hearing from my 
colleagues.

Thanks, Heidi

The authorized entry is Babitz, Chim, 1908- based on the t.p. verso of 
the author's Fun Krokhmalne biz Kalima.

This is obviously a typo for Chaim. Does common sense carry any  weight, 
or are we required to record and authorize nonsense if it's  printed in 
the book?
