Yes, "fl." was allowed in AACR2. You'll find it in the examples in AACR2
22.17A, and in many headings across the LC/NAF.
Although the examples in RDA 9.19.1.5 spell it out as "Flourished", NACO
practice follows the LCPS for 9.19.1.1, and prefers "Active". I suppose
one can be active, without necessarily flourishing.

Subject: Re: [RDA-L] Christianity-centric terminology in RDA
I have never heard (or at least registered) the term common era before,
and if I ever saw the term CE, I'd probably think it was something to do
with either EU product standards or perhaps the Church of England.....
mind you, I still expect RDA to regulate what I eat, rather than how I
catalogue.....
Anyway, as a replacement term I'm sure it's Doubleplusgood! Oh hang on
is that what I meant? What's that other opinion..... can't quite think
of the term..... express...... ;-)
Anyway, Fl. wasn't allowed under AARC2 was it? I thought that was one of
the more reasonable (re)introductions of RDA, albeit characteristically
spelled out in the closest English term, in case it doesn't clutter the
record enough as an abbreviation? ;-)
