Logos Book: The Historie of England
Author: Raphaell Holinshed
I'm not sure if it is misspelled or not. Spelling in those days was "dynamic." Do you think it should have one "l" or two?

Jim,
it seems you are referring to the spelling of the author's first name in several works from the Perseus collection . Most have it Raphaell (such as logosres:history2;art=title , whereas logosres:history1;art=title has Raphael only.
I'm not sure, though, where exactly is the misspelling. Holinshed lived in the 16th century and it may well have been that he wrote his name Raphaell (or even differently on different occasions). Most references to him are now as Raphael. However, Logos should have it consistent.
Logos should have it consistent.
Logos should have it consistent with the print book! It is entirely possible that his name was spelled differently in different books!
Either way, I put an entry to http://wiki.logos.com/Metadata_correction_proposals since this is the place where Logos reacts to those things.

IMO, Logos should list one author consistently with one spelling in the library metadata. The book itself should look like the edition that is cited.
I'm unsure about that... I agree that it would be nice to have the author's writings grouped together. I would certainly want the bibliographic information to reflect the paper book. If that causes the books to not be grouped together, so be it... (Then we can complain about that [:P].)
