Ismail | 2202 comments 1414-1492 Ysuf Va Zulaykh Jm = Jami

I can imagine, I had a similar match with google but was not sure if that could be true as I only encoutered mixed names so far, not mixed with a story. Great that you were able to solve it!


message 56: by Ismail (new)

Ismail | 2202 comments Great! you are moving forward very well

Here are the authors
Amad Ibn Ali Al-Maqrizi
Kamluddin Umar Ibn Al-Adim
Yaqut Al-Mustasimi
Ibn Tufayl
Uthman Ibn Umar Ibn Al-Hajib

This author:
Jacob Ben Solomon Ibn Habib seems to me that he is Rabbi Jacob Ibn Chabib
I found another one with almost the same name (with date) and merged them


message 57: by Redangel333 (new)

Redangel333 | 275 comments only one this time in Arabic:
'Al Ibn Muammad D 1222 Ibn Al-Nabh

and one I was not able to solve that is quite strange:
Ura 1225 Du Cnrs

I went as far as 1229.

Thanks a million, I forgot looking at worldcat and was focused on the author. I corrected it accordingly.

Good to know, I stopped working on 1866 as it was not statisfying enough to always see the large chunck that is left. That is the main reason I started moving onwards from 1000 up.

Redangel333 | 275 comments Thanks everyone for helping.

Here is an overview of what is worked at currently:
1823
This was the start post of the thread and most authors are worked. However, while clicking through the results again I relaized that there may be a few that are still to work at. By the time I post it, they are 16 result pages, but the majority consists of already worked profiles as far as I can see. No idea why they still appear.

1861
Ismail mentioned he is working on it, bigger project as there are more than 100 result pages.

1866
I worked on this for a while, but stopped currently. The results are under a 100 pages, but still way to go.

1914
Hannah mentioned she was working on it, currently 68 pages of results.

A while ago I started going upwards from 1000 leaving out War Diaries and Naval Press and I am currently approaching 1300.

Redangel333 | 275 comments Good work, thanks!

I moved a few years up and came across a few strange profiles, maybe someone can check them?
A Kar C Rya A Kar C Rya looks strange to me, but could be correct.
Bp of the Goths 311?-381? Ulfilas I was not able to solve that one, I checked for the book in the database which showed five version that could possibly be combined, but I could not decide which author to put at first author, therefor I left it for someone else to decide and clean up: https://www.goodreads.com/search?q=Th...

Anonimus L 1375 I did not merge it to anonymous as I was not sure if that would be the right thing to do. I was not able to find out more about the book or author.

Amad Ibn Muammad D. Ca Fayym not so sure if the D. and CA in the name are correct. Usually they are around a date, I thought I post it here for a doublecheck if that author is correct as the name appeared in a results page for one of the years.

1468 or 9-1534 Kemalpaazade I was not able to solve that one as well.

and these authors look like arabic names for me:
Badr Al-Dn Mamd Ibn Amad 1361-1451 Ayn
Amad Ibn Al 13th Cent Mar Al Ibn Masd
The Shaikh - The scholar of Hadeeth Muhammad At Tayyib bin Ishaaq Al Ansaaree Al Madanee (d. 1363 AH
Amad Ibn Al 1364-1442 Maqrz
شماره اول دوره اول بهار و تابستان 1381
Amad Ibn Muammad 1389-1450 Ibn Arabshh

I managed to do the following years up till 1390

According to Google Translate, the description of the book says it is Cloud of Ignorance, written in 1375, which seems to be the same book as these GR editions: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...
So merging into Anonymous would be ok for this author.

It might be a duplicated version, with accented letters removed of "Sankaracharya". According to Wikipedia, sometimes written as Śaṅkarācārya: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adi_Sha...
Accented letters sometimes disappear. No idea why it is duplicated.

That one seems to be Ulfilas, who lived 311-381: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulfilas
He was bishop, so I suspect "bp of the goths" stands for "Bishop of the Goths".

ETA: confirmed by other profiles: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I'll work on merging these author profiles, and combine the different editions.

ETA: all editions of this book are now combined under Anonymous (as it is a translation of the bible): https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Al-Fayyoumi I couldn't figure out what do D & CA mean but they are not parts of the name

This one is Ottoman or Turkish:

The name on this profile was originally written as Amad Ibn Muammad D Ca 1368 Fayym, only the year was removed.
I suspect the D is for "died", and Ca for circa, because the year was not exactly known.

This is very logical
thank you


message 83: by Ismail (new)

Ismail | 2202 comments These are the ones remained in #76:

Badr Ad-Din Mahmoud Al-Ayni
Ahmad Ibn 'Ali Ibn Mas'oud
Muhammad At-Tayyib Ibn Is-haaq Al-Ansari
Amad Ibn Ali Al-Maqrizi
Ahmad Ibn Arabshah

regarding to this one:
شماره اول دوره اول بهار و تابستان 1381

it is a Persian name that means: The first issue of the first period is spring and summer
and the book which is under that name is:
نامه انسان شناسي (means Anthropology Letter)

after a search on google I found that there is a magazine with that name, and the number in the author's name could be the issue number of the magazine.

E.g.: John F B 1853 Stevens stands for John F. Stevens, born in 1853 (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fr...), not for John F.B. Stevens
- and, similar to this: John J D 1899 Lalor stands for John J. Lalor, died in 1899 (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jo...), not for John J.D. Lalor ."


Apart from B (for Born) and D (for Died), sometimes there are other abbreviations added to an author name that are not part of the actual name:

Ed - Editor
Ill - Illustrator
Tr - Translator
Joint - Joint author or editor

Redangel333 | 275 comments Indian name issue is now a separate thread. Hope we find someone who can help.

I think that leaves only the strange magazine profile from #76 an open issue, and as Ismail posted in #84 it could be a magazine.

Redangel333 | 275 comments 1914 Marshall Field and Company Doll Catalogue...Including Dolls' Costumes, Tableware, Furniture and Jewellery
never came across a catalogue before and not sure what to do with this one, maybe someone with more experience knows.

Not sure what to do with kings or emperors either, so these ones need to be taken by someone else. I just do not know how the name is supposed to look like to distinguish the different countries and if it would be suffiecient to simply just remove the years. Also not aware if there is a difference between emperors and kings/queens. Here are the examples I came across:
King of Scotland 1512-1542 James V
King Of France 1550-1574 Charles IX
King of the French, 1773-1850 Louis Philippe
King of Portugal 1604-1656 John IV
King of England 1630-1685 R Charles II
King Of France 1470-1498 Charles VIII
King of France 1638-1715 Louis XIV
King of France 1755-1824 Louis XVIII
King of France 1710-1774 Louis XV
King of France 1553-1610 Henry IV
King of France 1754-1793 Louis XVI
Emperor of Hindustan 1483-1530 Babur
Emperor of the East 866-912 Leo VI
Emperor of Rome 331-363 Julian
Emperor Of Russia 1796-1855 Nicholas I
Emperor of China 1655-1723 K'Ang Hsi
Emperor of Russia 1672-1725 Peter I
emperor of Germany.)
Emperor of the East 866-912 Leo VI
Emperor of Germany 1741-1790 Joseph 2
Emperor of Rome 331-363 (Spirit Julian
Emperor of Rome, 121-180 Marcus Aurelius
Emperor of China 1711-1799 Qianlong
Emperor of China 1654-1722 Kangxi
Emperor of Mexico 1832-1867 Maximilian
Great Britain. Sovereign (1483 Edward V)
England Sovereign (1483 Edward V)

here are the other ones I could not solve:
'Al D 1910 Vaf

1483-1520 Artist Raphael
Hanibal 1485-1553 LICIC

I checked this author more than one time 'Al D 1910 Vaf but I didn't find any thing
His first name is Ali, that is the only thing I can say

1483-1520 Artist Raphael was merged with Raffaello Sanzio
also there is another profile Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino
I kept it since it is Italian but I think (da Urbino) needs to be removed, so both are going to be merged

the last one
Hanibal Lucić


message 96: by Redangel333 (new)

Redangel333 | 275 comments As a clarification, I was unable to solve the kings/emperors/sultans etc. as I was not aware if they all keep their title or not. It was mentioned here https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2... that they keep their title, but what if there are two kings with the same name like Charles? That name seem to have been used in England and France, do they get seperated with a ^ space as well?

Khadijah | 6 comments Hi,

I'm a long inactive librarian and found this thread while looking for ways to help.

I'm a native speaker of English + Arabic, and can understand Malay, Japanese and Chinese to various degrees.

Redangel333 wrote: "and this one looks suspicially like a title ending up as an author, but I cannot prove it:
《家居细节解读1128例:吊顶 楼梯》编委会"


编委会 is Editorial Board, so not exactly an author's name.

I updated the book details based on the Amazon pages I found. It originally had an ASIN, but since I could only confirm a hardcover version, I switched to ISBN.

We do not ever change the ASIN or ISBN identifiers. You can create a new edition. I have reverted your ISBN addition. An ASIN and ISBN would never be on the same edition.

Thank you for offering your language abilities - they will be very helpful going forward as you familiarize yourself with the librarian manual.

Secondhand booksale ASINs may be removed as they are not the actual identifier of a work, HOWEVER, they usually are used for works where there isn't a know ISBN or SBN either, e.g. pre-1960 or foreign works...
