[Feature Request] Bookininbook

[Doc73]

Hi Maieul!

For example https://archive.org/details/scholiaintheocri00buss, where Scholia in Theocritum are published by Duebner, Scholia in Nicandrum et Oppianum by Bussemaker.

Many thanks in advance,
Domenico

[maieul]

yes, I have the same need for my phd.

let me wait I finish the main content (normally, in August / September)

[Doc73]

👍

In Italy, in these circumstances we say "In bocca al lupo", which means "Good luck"! 😄

[maieul]

I will do it tomorrow, and I hope also for #20.

[Doc73]

Thank you very much in advance!

[maieul]

hum. in your case, should you use @bookinincollection instead of @bookininbook ?
Reading the biblatex handbook, I understand that @incollection are for entry with distinct author, that is your cas, while @inBook are for entry with the same author as @book (that is my case, as I use a book with collected article)

[maieul]

please make feedback on branch "issue23". I will look for issue #20 this afternoon.

[Doc73]

My case is really strange: there is a book, which contains two other books, by two author, where two different ancient texts are published.

The schema is the following:

@Collection{Duebner1878,
  author    = {Dübner, F. and Bussemaker, U. Cats},
  booktitle = {Scholia in Theocritum, Nicandrum et Oppianum},
  location  = {Parisiis},
  publisher = {Editore Ambrosio Firmin--Didot},
  year      = {1878},
}

@Incollection{Bussemaker1878,
  author     = {Bussemaker, U. Cats},
  title      = {Scholia et Paraphrases in Nicandrum et Oppianum},
  year       = {1878},
  pages      = {243--364},
  crossref   = {Duebner1878},
  titleaddon = {Partim nunc primum edidit, partim collatis cod. mss. emendavit, annotatione critica instruxit et indices confecit},
}

@Bookinincollection{ScholiainOppianum1878,
  author    = {{Scholia~in~Oppianum}},
  title     = {In Halieutica},
  pages     = {260--364},
  year      = {1878},
  crossref  = {Bussemaker1878},
}

@Bookinincollection{ScholiainOppianum1878a,
  author    = {{Scholia~in~Oppianum}},
  title     = {In Cynegetica},
  pages     = {243--259},
  year      = {1878},
  keywords  = {auctores},
  crossref  = {Bussemaker1878},
}

If you tries this code, you'll have an "error" in titleaddon which would have been related to the title of the incollection.

P.S.: branch #20 is fine

[maieul]

ok, I will look tomorrow.

[Doc73]

This is the result:

Scholia in Oppianum. In Cynegetica . Partim nunc primum edidit, partim collatis cod. mss. emendavit, annotatione critica instruxit et indices confecit. In: U. C. Bussemaker. “Scholia et Paraphrases in Nicandrum et Oppianum”. In: Scholia in Theocritum, Nicandrum et Oppianum. Parisiis, 1878, pp. 243–259.

But I would expect:

Scholia in Oppianum. In Cynegetica. In: U. C. Bussemaker. “Scholia et Paraphrases in Nicandrum et Oppianum”. Partim nunc primum edidit, partim collatis cod. mss. emendavit, annotatione critica instruxit et indices confecit. In: F. Dübner and U. C. Bussemaker, Scholia in Theocritum, Nicandrum et Oppianum. Parisiis, 1878, pp. 243–259.

[maieul]

I am looking on it.

Ps : notes that you don't need to recopy the "year" field: it is inherited. I suggest you, also, to use date field instead, with new format for date range (BEGIN/END)

[maieul]

1. Please try branch issue23. The new version solves the inheritance of titleaddon.
2. Please look on the change mode on your example in 44deb3e

[Doc73]

No, @issue23 doesn't give the expected result: 😢

Scholia in Oppianum. In Cynegetica. In: U. C. Bussemaker. Scholia et Paraphrases in Nicandrum et Oppianum. Partim nunc primum edidit, partim collatis cod. mss. emendavit, annotatione critica instruxit et indices confecit. In: F. Dübner and U. C. Bussemaker, Scholia in Theocritum, Nicandrum et Oppianum. Parisiis, 1878, pp. 243–259.

Please, note the names of Dübner and Bussemaker, i. e. the editor of the two "books" joined together in a single volume whose title is Scholia in Theocritum, Nicandrum et Oppianum.

As for the repetition of year, it depends on the fact that I want Jabref automatically generates a key in the form AuthorYear.

[maieul]

you didn't ask for this problem� so that is normal I didn't solve it.

[Doc73]

Sorry, but in my previous post I pointed out to this issue, albeit perhaps too cursory.

[maieul]

Ok, I see. But as the model are complex and long, please ask explicitly for field problematic ;-). You have asked for titleaddon, so I have corrected it.

So, the new version of the branch should:

• solve the problem of mainauthor
• solve the problem of title in double

[Doc73]

Ok! I understand! 👍

[maieul]

@Doc73 if you could look before midnight, it will allow me to publish it today, and so not to change the date in all the file (an operation with a lot of error)

[Doc73]

Ok! It's ready?

[maieul]

yes, cf the hand of my message ;-)

[maieul]

`So, the new version of the branch should:

[Doc73]

Yes, it works very well! ;-)
Now, I go to sleep: tomorrow I'll wake up at 0600!
