PREFACE
Subclass KB, Religious Law, is currently in the process of being developed
by Jolande E. Goldberg, law classification specialist in the Cataloging Policy and
Support Office. Subclasses KBR, History of Canon Law, and KBU, Law of the Roman
Catholic Church. The Holy See, the first two subclasses to be completed, were
published in 2000. The 2004 edition included, in addition to those two subclasses,
three new subclasses that were developed between 2000 and 2004: KB, Religious
Law in General. Comparative Religious Law. Jurisprudence; KBM, Jewish Law.
Halakah; and KBP, Islamic Law. Shariah. Fiqh. This 2008 edition includes additions
and changes that have been made to these subclasses between 2004 and 2008.
For this edition, Arabic script has been provided for many of the proper names and
Arabic terms in subclass KBP, in addition to their Latin counterparts. Future editions
of KB will incorporate additional subclasses until all of the KB subclasses have been
completed.
Classification numbers or spans of numbers that appear in parentheses are
formerly valid numbers that are now obsolete. Numbers or spans that appear in
angle brackets are optional numbers that have never been used at the Library of
Congress but^re provided for other libraries that wish to use them. In most cases,
a parenthesized or angle-bracketed number is accompanied by a “see” reference
directing the user to the actual number that the Library of Congress currently uses,
or a note explaining Library of Congres% practice.
Access to the online version of the full Library of Congress Classification is
available on the World Wide Web by subscription to Classification Web. Details about
ordering and pricing may be obtained from the Cataloging Distribution Service at
<http://www.loc.gov/cds/>
New or revised numbers and captions are added to the L.C. Classification
schedules as a result of development proposals made by the cataloging staff of the
Library of Congress and cooperating institutions. Upon approval of these proposals
by the weekly editorial meeting of the Cataloging Policy and Support Office, new
classification records are created or existing records are revised in the master
classification database. Weekly lists of newly approved or revised classification
numbers and captions are posted on the World Wide Web at
<http://www.loc.gov/aba/cataloging/classification/weeklylists/>
Kent Griffiths, assistant editor of classification schedules, is responsible for
creating new classification records, maintaining the master database, and creating
index terms for the captions.
The Library of Congress gratefully acknowledges the assistance and support
of the Advisory Committee on LC Law Classification during the development of
the major classes of religious law presented in this volume. From the University of
California at Berkeley School of Law, Professor Laurent Mayali, Director, Robbins
Collection, and Thomas H. Reynolds, Associate Director of the Library (now retired),
provided funding and other support that enabled the law classification specialist
to conduct an in-depth study of the Robbins Collection on Canon and Roman law,
which laid the groundwork for subclasses KBR and KBU. The Library also wishes
to extend its thanks to those law libraries who have generously contributed staff
resources to the development of the schedules on Jewish law (KBM) and Islamic
law (KBP): M. Kathleen Price, Director and Professor of Law, and Professor Noah
Feldman of New York University Law School Library and Faculty; Professor Harry
S. Martin, Librarian and Professor of Law, Harvard Law School Library; the Islamic
Legal Studies Program at Harvard Law School, in particular Professor Frank Vogel,
Director, Peri Bearman, Associate Director, Lesley Wilkins, Bibliographer of the Islamic
World, and Aron Zysow, Research Associate. The Library also extends its thanks
to Professor Michel Theriault, Universite Saint-Paul, Faculte de Droit Canonique,
for his critique and encouragement during the final drafting stage of the schedules.
Recognition is also due to Oberstudienrat Helmut Hoerr, Bad Homburg/Germany,
and Dario C. Ferreira, Senior Legal Research Analyst and Librarian (Law-Romance
Languages), Law Library of Congress, for reviewing and editing the Latin portions
of the text.
In addition, the Library would like to express its gratitude to William Kopycki,
University of Pennsylvania, for his assistance in providing the Arabic script for
subclass KBP.
