[DCRM-L] Book curse?

[Johnson-DeBaufre, Eric]

Wow! That curse really does deserve to be recorded. A quick search turned up this record (OCLC 1497928516) to which the cataloging institution gave a 655 and a second indicator of 4.

Cheers,

EJD

Dear DCRM-L,

A question from colleague not yet on this listserv:

"Does anyone know a controlled term for book curses, or injunctions against thieves? I have a really great one that I'd love to make findable:

"Qui furabit hunc librum / Non videbit jesum Cristum / Certe ibit in infernum / Ibi stabit in aeternum / Ad exemplum ceterorum / per / Omnia saecula saeculorum / Amen"

I cannot think of one, any ideas?

Many thanks,
Maria
