BIBLIOGRAPHICAL TECHNICAL TERMS.

<See 10 S. x. 81, 484 ; xi. 82, 184 ; xii. 103.)

(Conclusion.)

Scenonym. Stage-name, theatrical name of author or actor.

Edmund Falconer was the theatrical name of Edmund O'Rourke (1814-79), and he wrote a comedy under his theatrical name (see Boase, ' M.E.B,' ' Handbook,' p. 49).

Henry Irving was a theatrical name until the bearer was knighted.

Villeneuve (Madame) [Madame Sophie Boge].

Stage-name, being English, is the prefer- able word. It is always used by Mr. Boase in ' M.E.B.' ; see his indexes.

Sideronym. Celestial or astronomical name.

Sirius [A. A. Berruyer].

Sobriquet. Same as nickname, q.v.

Stigmonym. Points or dots instead of a name. See asterism.

Syncopism. Name deprived of several letters. See apoconym.

Telonism, The last letters of the real name.

H. S. [Ralph Thomas, 1832], H., p. 60, and other instances.

Titlogeonym. See titlonym and geonym. ' Modern Painters,' by a graduate of Oxford [John Ruskin, see H., p. 6].

Les Theologiens de Bordeaux. Fronton -du Due was " les theologiens."

Titlonym. Title taken instead of proper name.

' Legends of the Library at Lilies,' by the lord and lady there, 1832 [Lord G. N. T. Grenville, Baron Nugent, and Lady Nugent], H., p. 150.

Saint Cyran (1'abbe de) [J. Daverger de Hauranne].

Vieux soldat (un) [le Comte de Rocheline].

Translationym. Translation of the real name.

Forrest [J. G. Wood, see H., p. 51, and ' Swimming,' by Ralph Thomas, 1904, index under Forrest].

Books Nabonag : Books is a translation of Libri, and Nabonag an anagram of Bagnano [le Comte Georges Libri Bagnano].

Johann Saville Stein [John Saville Stone, H., p. 122 : stein is German for stone.

Nearly all these technical words are derived from Greek ; but translationym is a mongrel coinage the first part Latin, the -onym Greek. RALPH THOMAS.

I have always understood that Major A, the great authority on whist (ante, p. 105), was Major George Anson, who after- wards became a general, and was Com- mander-in-Chief in India when the Mutiny broke out. He died of cholera at the commencement of the struggle. Of Major Aubrey I have no knowledge, nor can I find his name in the ' Diet. Nat. Biog.' Perhaps MR. WILLIAM PRIDEATJX COURTNEY can tell us something about him.

I hope MR. THOMAS does not wish to introduce into English bibliography such awful hybrids as " pseudoprenonym " and " pseudo titlonym," which are enough to invoke the wrath of Priscian's ghost upon us. W. F. PRIDE AUX.

Preprint. -I notice a word that may, for its very special purpose, be recorded as an addition to MR. RALPH THOMAS'S bibliographical vocabulary. It will be found at p. 102 of the ' British Museum Return ' 'or 1908, where Sir Edward M. Thompson

reporting on the library of the Natural History Museum :

' The printing of the Catalogue was resumed, and the work at the end of the year stood as follows : No. of sheets passed for press (A Linnaeus) 144. No. of title-slips set up in type (A Loew) 33,578. A preprint of the titles of the works under the leading 'Linnaeus' was prepared and issued in time for the bicentennial celebrations of the birth f Linnaeus."

Q.V.

P.S. Since I sent the above, the 'N.E.D.' has shown that the word was used in The Academy as early as June, 1889.
