Marginal Notes as MsItems Add. 14,434, foll. 1–79 | https://bl.syriac.uk/ms/91 #1751

Should marginal notes be included as separate msItems in this case? Looking at the website, these notes are already included above so including them twice seems repetitive. This display also diverges from the Greek marginal notes which are in additions. Which location is preferred?

Website: https://bl.syriac.uk/ms/91 (cf notes for Item 9; Items 10-14)

@RachelEdney I think Dave and I will confer on this one before giving a final reply. I think in general it is okay to have something appear both in an msItem (if the piece of content is an exemplar of a given work, or part of a work) and as an addition (if the piece was added by a later hand and not part of the initial act of production). The case here isn't totally clear as many of the additions listed may or may not be added later. I'm assuming the original encoder took their presence on the margins to signal that they are additions, but that's not always the case. We'll discuss and get back to you on this one!

I am also wondering if the outline of the contents should have a containing item for the Psalms and various accompanying material rather than the 15 a-level items in a series. @davidamichelson and I should discuss this though

@RachelEdney Thanks for this, Will and I may address the structure later, for now please leave the msItems as is. Thanks!
