RDA 4.7: Note Fields - 5XX
Bible testaments
O.T. and N.T. should no longer be used, but the terms should be expanded as Old Testament or New Testament. With AACR2, a Biblical book title within an X30 field had an additional subfield containing either Old Testament or New Testament.
With RDA, the Testament subfield is removed when a Biblical book is in the next subfield. Koran is also now replaced with Qur'an:
