(no subject)
Feb. 11th, 2010 01:34 pmInteresting subject heading here:
650 0Islam ǂx Essence, genius, nature.
I suppose that this is "genius" in the sense of "individual divine nature; indwelling spirit" which is kind of an interesting concept as regards a religion as a whole. The "oversoul" or "egregore" of Islam, if you will? (I assume other religions have parallel subject headings, but this just happens to be the one from a book I'm cataloging at the moment.)
Sometimes LCSH* are a little weird and you wonder if someone out there has a wry sense of humour, witness 650 0Clothes closets ǂv Drama. which is sometimes on Narnia items or 650 0Meat grinders ǂz England ǂz London ǂv Drama. which is on Sweeney Todd**. Other times, they're intriguing to think about.
* Library of Congress Subject Headings.
** The title was slipping my mind for a moment when I tried to search and copy the subject heading, and my brain kept supplying Tom Sawyer***. NOT THE SAME THING OKAY.
*** The Demon Whitewasher of St Petersburg?
