Re: [RDA-L] Identifying a person of religious vocation

[Liba Levicek]

Does the cookbook mention what order does you Siostra Maria belong to?   Or 
name of place where she lives, works etc.  That could help a bit.
After reading the article I agree that she may not be  the same person as 
Siostra Maria Goretti Nowak.  Even though the two pictures look somewhat 
similar.
If you have any text in Polish I could help as I can read it fairly well.

Richard, I had high hopes for Siostra Maria Goretti Nowak!  Ultimately I don't

"my" Siostra Maria has published several cookbooks and won a Baker of the Year

Re: [RDA-L] Identifying a person of religious vocation

[Ann Ryan]

Hi Richard

 

Like you, I have significant doubts that "Goretti" is her surname - it is
much more likely to be a part of her vocational name (or name taken within
her religion). 

She may well have an 'original' surname to distinguish her from the other
Siostra Maria Gorettis within her order - but that is not given and is
clearly not used on a daily basis.

 

I'd feel very reluctant to list her simply under Maria, Siostra. There are
many, many Siostra, Sister, Suor Marias.  And we do have her full name (even
if not on the title page). 

 

Under 9.2.2.5.1 (Fullness) we are instructed:

If the forms of a person's name vary in fullness, choose as the preferred
name the form most commonly found.

And then

If no one form predominates, choose the latest form as the preferred name.
In case of doubt about which is the latest form, choose the fuller or
fullest form.

 

Given that we only have one instance (the book in hand) - and there isn't
actually a separate statement of responsibility on the title page (instead,
using genitive case within the title proper) -- I'd choose the fullest form
given.

 

Therefore: Maria Goretti

 

And since "Goretti" is a part of her given name [Christian name seems
peculiarly apt here] the rules in 9.4.1.8 apply and we can add "Siostra"

Giving us:

100 0_ $a Maria Goretti, $c Siostra

If you do choose to make a cross-reference from "Goretti", I would certainly
include the qualifier - or you risk confusing people searching for the
'original' saint Maria Goretti.

400 0_ $a Goretti, Maria$c Siostra

Richard,

since you are dealing with a person in religion who may wind up being
entered under her given name (Maria), note RDA instructions 9.4.1.8 ("Other
persons of religious vocation") and 9.2.2.18 ("General Guidelines on
Recording Names Containing Neither a Surname nor a Title of Nobility"). The
effect of these instructions is that "Siostra" is only recorded as part of
the preferred name when the first element of the preferred name is a given
name (in this case, Maria). If you choose "Maria" as the name by which
Siostra Maria is commonly identified, then you can formulate her preferred
name as

100 0_ $a Maria, $c Siostra

i.e., you record "Siostra" as "an integral part" of her name. If on the
other hand you decide that her name is Maria Goretti, i.e. you choose a name
that contains a surname, there is no provision for recording "Siostra" as an
integral part of the name, and your access point would be

100 1_ $a Goretti, Maria

Since she is identified as Siostra Maria on your title page, I think you
would be justified in establishing her as

100 0_ $a Maria, $c Siostra

400 1_ $a Goretti, Maria

right now, this 400 doesn't conflict with any 100, so that would be OK --
your 400 only matches another 400, which is allowed.

If you feel that "Maria Goretti" is this person's name in religion, i.e.
that Goretti is not her surname, you could add this 400 as well:

100 0_ $a Maria, $c Siostra
400 1_ $a Goretti, Maria

400 0_ $a Maria Goretti, $c Siostra

The one form that is not admissible under RDA is

100 1_ $a Goretti, Maria, $c Siostra

since in this case the name chosen contains a surname, in which case
"Siostra" should *not* be treated as an integral part of the name.

Dear Richard,

thanks for this correction. I shouldn't have said that the form "Goretti,
Maria, $c Siostra" is not admissible under RDA. As you point out, adding
"Siostra" in this way can be done if it is needed to distinguish one access
point from another, and optionally if the cataloger considers it important
for identification.

Re: [RDA-L] Identifying a person of religious vocation

[Jennifer Gullickson]

Hi Richard,

I don't know how they do it in other countries, but here in the U.S., the 
person takes on a saint's name as their FIRST name.  Whether the entire name is 
taken is dependent on how well known the saint is or if their order has others 
in the same monastery or priory who have taken the names of other saints with 
the same first name.  You can't very well call for Sr. Maria or Fr. John when 
there are other Sr. Marias or Fr. Johns in the same house and have them know 
which one you mean.  They do, however, retain their own last name, so if 
Siostry Marii just happens to have her own last name the same as St. Maria 
Goretti, then I'd say yes, you could do it the way you plan, but my guess is 
that her name is Siostry Marii Goretti (LAST NAME).  At least that's how the 
Dominicans do it.

Hope that makes sense,
Jennifer

Hello all,

I'd appreciate any thoughts about whether I'm on the right track in dealing 
with this name.

I'm doing original cataloging of Ciasta i ciasteczka Siostry Marii (Sister 
Maria's cakes and cookies).  The author's name appears as Siostry Marii 
(genitive case) on the title page and Siostra Maria Goretti on the verso of the 
t.p.  So following 9.2.2.2 and 2.2.2, Siostra Maria would be the preferred form.

I can find no biographical information on Siostra Maria, other than that she 
apparently runs an orphanage and bakery connected with a basilica in Poland.  
Luckily and to my surprise, the form I have chosen for the authorized access 
point, 100 0_ $a Maria, $c Siostra, does not conflict with any authorized or 
variant access points in the NAF.

A wrinkle in constructing the variant access point (400 1_ $a Goretti, Maria, 
$c Siostra) is that "Goretti" may not be this individual's surname; rather I 
suspect that "Maria Goretti" may be her name in religion honoring Saint Maria 
Goretti.  Am I right in supposing that I don't need to worry about this

Re: [RDA-L] Identifying a person of religious vocation

[Charles Croissant]

Richard,

since you are dealing with a person in religion who may wind up being
entered under her given name (Maria), note RDA instructions 9.4.1.8 ("Other
persons of religious vocation") and 9.2.2.18 ("General Guidelines on
Recording Names Containing Neither a Surname nor a Title of Nobility"). The
effect of these instructions is that "Siostra" is only recorded as part of
the preferred name when the first element of the preferred name is a given
name (in this case, Maria). If you choose "Maria" as the name by which
Siostra Maria is commonly identified, then you can formulate her preferred
name as

100 0_ $a Maria, $c Siostra

i.e., you record "Siostra" as "an integral part" of her name. If on the
other hand you decide that her name is Maria Goretti, i.e. you choose a
name that contains a surname, there is no provision for recording "Siostra"
as an integral part of the name, and your access point would be

100 1_ $a Goretti, Maria

Since she is identified as Siostra Maria on your title page, I think you
would be justified in establishing her as

100 0_ $a Maria, $c Siostra
400 1_ $a Goretti, Maria

right now, this 400 doesn't conflict with any 100, so that would be OK --
your 400 only matches another 400, which is allowed.

If you feel that "Maria Goretti" is this person's name in religion, i.e.
that Goretti is not her surname, you could add this 400 as well:

100 0_ $a Maria, $c Siostra
400 1_ $a Goretti, Maria
400 0_ $a Maria Goretti, $c Siostra

The one form that is not admissible under RDA is
100 1_ $a Goretti, Maria, $c Siostra

since in this case the name chosen contains a surname, in which case
"Siostra" should *not* be treated as an integral part of the name.
