Hello, 

As a French speaker it strikes me as "strange" to have  a noun : Collection which is feminine singular next to an adjective : Inédits which is masculine plural. This breaks a fundamental grammatical rule of adjective/noun agreement that you will find in all Romance languages.

That is why the capitalized Inédits is treated like a proper name. 

I apologize for giving a linguist's opinion on a cataloging forum.

Sincerely,

I question whether the word “Inedits” in the series title below should be upper case. It does not appear to be a proper name, etc. The record is pre-RDA.
