When cataloging a book by "Ba'al Tevu'ot Shor", should
one have as a reference also: 'Tevu'ot Shor, Ba'al"? or should this be
done only when the person is usually known by the name of his work?
The answer hinges on whether "Ba'al Tevu'ot Shor"
is the heading or only a reference. If the
author's real name is
unknown and he is being entered under a phrase per rule
22.11D, then a reference from the name of the work is required.
If, however, the phrase is not the heading
but only a reference, another reference from the name of the
work would be a
variant of a variant and should not be made.
When the rule says "Refer, when appropriate, from
the title of the other work ..." it means that
this is appropriate when the title of another work is involved--since
the rule also refers to entering persons under words or phrases that
don't necessarily contain titles of other works. It doesn't mean
anything more complicated, e.g., that it's appropriate to refer
from the title of the other work if the person is usually
known by the name of his work.
P.S. Note that words other than the first in the title
of the work are not capitalized--cf. "Author of Early impressions."

According to Paul Maher, the rule does say to make both
the ref from "Author of" and the ref from the title of what
he's the
author of. [This rule, however, has probably
been ignored many times, and that it probably will be ignored again in
the future.]
