I'm not a classicist, but the explanation of the qualifier for the Bede
works is that all of the works in the OMT volume have been edited and
translated more than once. So one could argue that there would be a need
to distinguish expressions. Gronock and Wood (primarily Gronock) produced
new editions of these works from the manuscripts, in most cases using some
mss that had not been used before. All those works have also been
translated into English at least one other time and the Historia Abbatum
and the letter to Egbert maybe twice previously.
I would suspect that the same is true of the other items, which will all
have been edited in Greek or Latin many times over the last 5 centuries.
Whether these had been translated into French before I do not know, but
the cataloger may have wished to do a "pre-emptive" heading anticipating
that at some point there would be a need to distinguish expressions. And
in RDA, there may not be any requirement to have an existing conflict.
Bob Maxwell can probably provide better help.
