The Names of Church Perosons in Authority Files and Cross-References

In A Code and Manual for Compiling Alphabetical Catalogues. Part 1, Headings and Heading Words, there are three paragraphs (131, 132, 133) which define uniform headings and their general cross-references of non-preferred terms for the names of church dignitaries, members of church orders and saints. These paragraphs are only short of unsufficient number of examples for the names of church perosons and saints from the ortodox christianity field. When we say this, it doesn't mean that the author of this manual had intention to do this, because when this manual was written, the ortodox church publishing was not devoloped yet. Our intention is not aimed to change current regulations for making uniform headings, but is aimed to update it with the examples of the name of authors which have been appeared in the meantime.

Key words: authority file, uniform heading, general cross-reference, church dignitaries, members of church orders, names of saints
