Hi,

three months ago, Jesse Billett wrote the following to Bibulus-users
(see the archive for the full message):

Apart from Seealso (which is an annotation, I think), Address and
Pagerange, the fields seem to be new (what is meant by 'X-te' -- is it
just a date?).  Should we make a new entry type called <manuscript>
with at least additional fields <library>, <shelfmark> and <origin>?
