When using "circa" based on a Hebrew date, LC prefers to cite only the earlier of the two possible Gregorian dates in the date portion of the heading..
For example, in the case of "circa 595", one should use ""ca. 1834"
and not "ca. 1834 or 5".
Moreover, if the person died after 1899, he is a 20th-century
person, and as such is not allowed to have *any* imprecise
dates in his heading (unless to break a conflict), such as "ca."
or "fl." or dates with "?".
This is discussed at the beginning of RI 22.17:
"For persons living in the twentieth century, the date
upon which the heading is based should be a precise one."
Thus, if the death date is known, only it should be used in the date
portion of the heading (e.g., "d. 1917" and not "ca. 1834-1917")
Nonetheless, a Hebrew date which has to be expressed as
two Gregorian years is considered "precise" for the purposes of this rule.)
