Sources-Published books

By default, the source editing information is arrange to record “manuscript” type sources, i.e. those that exist in original form, often in an archive. It is always advised to check these “original” documents (or surrogates) where possible. However, sometimes the only source might be published information. Perhaps you can’t access the original, or it might have even been destroyed and so information published whilst the original still existed is the only source.

The “Published” field would normally be the place and year of publication.
