Policy when same Title is Attributed to more than one Author?

[John]

I'm entering a title, some information is here:
online books: Advaita Bodha...
According to this link, the book is authorless. This perhaps due to the original work being attributed to one author and then modified by another, at a later period.

I've been studying the librarian manual, viz:
Librarian Manual
and am unable to find this point.

If I may squeeze in another question, what is the policy for anonymous works?

Regards

John

PS: A note on this volume:

"Originally Sri Shankaracharya and other great Sages had written works like the commentary on the Vedanta Sutras and thus furnished the methods for those engaged in Self-enquiry to accomplish their purpose.
"From those, Sri Karapatra Swami later condensed the salient points into Sanskrit verse in a work of twelve chapters, called 'Sri Advaita Bodha Deepika'"

WorldCat (a meta-catalogue of many university libraries) gives this result for that title.

The three most recent English language editions of the work give Swami Hariharānandasarasvatī as the author, and Swami Ramāṇananda Saraswathi as the translator - the same translator as your edition.

Given that the foreword of your edition is impossibly vague about authorship, I would go with modern scholarship and list Swami Hariharānandasarasvatī as author and Swami Ramāṇananda Saraswathi as translator.

Concerning your second question: the author you enter for anonymous works is 'Anonymous' (no inverted commas). If there is a translator or editor or both, you would still list them in subsequent author slots with their respective roles, e.g. 'Translator', in the adjacent role boxes.

I have a question of my own. Why didn't my hyperlink work? The html looks just dandy to me. You can cut and paste the link into your browser anyway John.

You forgot to put "s around the URL.

Try this.

Thanks Tom,
I just found out about "WorldCat" from you; whereas I think it a good idea to go along with scholarship, is it all right to do this when Hariharānandasarasvatī isn't mentioned in this edition?
Update: Just seen the entry on the link you gave; the details tally with this edition, and I've updated the url with the one supplied by yourself.
Thanks for the info.
Regards

John
