Abstract
The goal of this paper is to analyze the ISBD consolidated edition and compare it to the specialized standard ISBD(A) in order to determine how the characteristics of rare books are treated in both standards’ stipulations, and whether the changes brought by the consolidated ISBD contribute significantly to the development of bibliographic description of rare books. The analysis was carried out using a methodology of comparative analysis and table of concordance as a research instrument. The results have shown differences in the treatment of rare books characteristics between the consolidated ISBD and the specialized standard ISBD(A). Although specific characteristics of rare books appear in all areas of bibliographic description used for rare books, they are most evident in the general section, the title and statement of responsibility area, the publication, production and distribution area, and the material description area. The changes that should be considered, especially in composing a new Croatian national cataloguing code, are noticed in all areas of bibliographic description. Also, some changes that significantly improve the bibliographic description of rare books have been observed, such as consistent recording of all copy specific information in the notes area.
