Re: question on using dictionaries as subdivision

Hi Heidi,

I would suggest consulting SCM H1540 on Dictionaries.  Is it clear that
this work is a dictionary, or another "dictionary-like" work, e.g., a
concordance? (Cf. SCM H 1670  Use...the subdivision
–Concordances...for indexes to the principal words found within the
writings of one author, one named work, or a group of literary works.)

Dear safranim,
I am cataloging "Milon ha-hagadot shel Pesa.h be-Ladino."
 I am not sure if I use "Dictionaries" as a subdivision
to the 
1. topical heading "Haggadot" 
or 2
2. uniform title "Haggadah."
Thanks, Heidi
