Nan Alexandru | 37 comments Hello,
Historia de la Guardia de Hierro - This book appears on Corneliu Zelea Codreanu page, but he is not an author. The book is about him.

Shim (slimmy) | 4637 comments Says on the cover "incluye la obra… de C.Z. Codreanu" so the book contains work written by him and thus his name does belong in the list of authors.


message 3: by Nan (new)

Nan Alexandru | 37 comments So if authors comment on Corneliu's writings, the book should also appear on his page? Just asking.


message 4: by Scott (new)

Scott | 14701 comments It will appear on the page of any author listed.


message 5: by Nan (new)

Nan Alexandru | 37 comments I mean, is it normal for him to be listed, considering that his writings are commented on?


message 6: by Scott (new)

Scott | 14701 comments If he is a contributor to the book he can be listed.


message 7: by Nan (new)

Nan Alexandru | 37 comments I'm still not clear. The book was published 80 years after his death.


message 8: by Scott (new)

Scott | 14701 comments Lots of authors' works are published after their deaths.


message 9: by Nan (new)

Nan Alexandru | 37 comments It is very unlikely that 3 writers from Spain after 80 years would publish writings by a politician from the 1930s from Romania.+ I've already read all his works.

But it's ok, no problem. Thanks for help!

Shim (slimmy) | 4637 comments If the book contains work by the person, they can be credited as an author. It doesn't make a difference when they died.

If the book only contains commentary on another author's work without significant quotation from that author, then the other author would probably not need to be credited. But the cover clearly states that this book contains "Manual del jefe" by the author in question, so they should be credited accordingly.
