1. Is there any difference between medieval and modern in respect to msDesc

Can use MsDesc for modern manuscripts and non-manuscript materials, but it is often difficult. Suggestion of text-bearing object instead of manuscript, or taking the msDesc elements up a level. Or grouping them with elements introduced to cope with other subsets of text-bearing objects.

Incunabula suggested as an area where non-ms materials have very similar concerns to manuscripts. Yet people are sometimes unwilling to use msDesc for this.
