RISMs vs. RISMc ⟨User:Notenschreiber [#10423]

I saw you cleaned up some info on the Ravenscroft. Since you're an admin, you should know that we're trying to limit the use of RISMs to things we actually have here (like the links for the Schrank 2 collection things). For references to items not here listed on RISM, the RISMc template is employed. This allows a short description in the second field of the template. We also use the added filed |Manuscript Sources= for these, as they are often very helpful in proving the case that something was "published" long ago by virtue of the fact that manuscript copies were made and circulated. Sometimes you will run into citations that are a bit silly - like for a 19th century manuscript copy of Corelli's Op.5 which we know very well was published in the 18th century. So someone made a manuscript copy in the 1800s - big deal. At any rate, the links are often very useful and helpful, so that's why we set up the added field to handle them.

I know about "RISMs" and "RISMc", but this is relatively new and sometimes it´s not in my mind. I will pay attention about that in future.
