The MARC tagging and capitalization style of "nickname" headings in the
authority file are usually considered sufficient to distinguish them
from uniform title headings.
The nickname "Torah Temimah" is tagged 100, while a uniform title would
be tagged 130. The second element of a nickname ("Temimah" in this
case) is capitalized, while the second word of a uniform title normally
is not.
The subfield containing dates of birth and/or death can only be added
to a personal name heading or reference, never to a uniform title (130).
When a personal name heading contains dates of birth and/or death, all
references to that heading must contain them also.
In this case, of course, when an author is nicknamed for his work, the
authorized heading for the work will include both the author's
authorized heading and the uniform title: Epstein, Baruch,
ha-Levi,$d1860-1942.$tTorah temimah.
