Librettist category for Biblical texts

Postby rpatters1 » Thu Jun 28, 2012 10:35 pm

Is there librettist category for Biblical texts? I am specifically interested in linking an excerpt from the Douay-Rheims translation.

There hasn't been a set wording, partly because Psalms is a tagging category all to itself.

The other problem is that some texts are entirely taken from one book of the Bible, while other texts are a mixture from different books. So some people fill in the librettist field with "Bible", "Liturgical", "Luke" (or whatever specific book), or "Psalm".

So you will have to look at which specific parts of the Bible your texts are from to see if there is something non-generic you can write, otherwise "Bible" is probably the generic.
