While Haggadah and other liturgical headings are not included
in the list of valid free-floaters for sacred works (SCM
H 1188), LC has applied subdivisions valid for literary works (SCM
H 1155.8). Therefore "Haggadah--Adaptations" and
"Mahzor--Adaptations" are valid but not "Haggadah--Commentaries."
It is always a challenge to deal with these "non-standard" liturgical works--how to apply uniform titles, subject headings, classification, etc. How different must something be to be considered non-standard? The matter has come up on various occasions at Hebraica Team meetings.
As far as subject assignment, Hebraica Team members have, in general,
refrained from using the standard array
"[ ]--Liturgy--Texts"
headings for these "non-standard" works, and instead have applied the subdivision
"--Prayer-books and devotions."
Please be aware, however, that "Jews--Prayer-books and devotions" is
a reference to "Judaism--Prayer-books and devotions"
and that the subdivision is further subdivided by language. Also,
it may be assigned after topics.
So, LC suggests the following array of headings:
[Uniform title]--Adaptations.
[Holiday]--Prayer-books and devotions--[Language].
Judaism--[Place]--Prayer-books and devotions--[Language].
[Additional topical headings]
The other problem is classification. A special subarrangement
was established for "miscellaneous adaptations" of Haggadot (BM674.795),
but not for Siddurim or Mahzorim.
