This file may be used to illustrate the use of items and components for the description of sources. For instance, note the description of specific copies of a print separate from the general description of the print run (sources A, D etc.), and the description of sets of parts (H and J), giving a general description of the set as well as descriptions of the individual parts. Source J combines these two options to describe a printed set of parts and a specific copy of it. Sources J and N also have reprint editions defined by means of relations between the sources. Please note: The content of this file has been modified for demonstration purposes and does not represent accurate real-world data.
