I recently acquired a copy of The Proverbs from MacMillan's Modern Reader's Bible series edited by Richard Moulton. In the back, the listing of the titles in the series is broken out into several groups, also referred to as 'series', thus:

- "Wisdom Series" (Proverbs, Ecclesiasticus, Ecclesiastes, The Book of Job)
- The apparently independent Deuteronomy and Biblical Idyls
- "History Series" (Genesis, The Exodus, Judges, The Kings, The Chronicles)
- "Prophecy Series" (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, The Minor Prophets)

Is there a recognized, preferred, generalizable way to list these, noting both their membership in the series as a whole and the individual serieses? Or should they just be two different series (e.g., "Modern Reader's Bible" and "Modern Reader's Bible: Wisdom Series")?

(The question of why LT's touchstone system is unable to locate https://www.librarything.com/work/15734310 and attach it to 'Jeremiah' is left as an exercise for the reader...)

This is typically handled with separate series. See https://www.librarything.com/work/15782979.
