Einembandigen

Einembandigen is not a widely recognized term in standard bibliographic or linguistic references. It is likely a misspelling or a nonstandard form related to the German adjective einbändig, which describes a work published in a single volume, as opposed to zweibändig (two-volume) or mehrbändig (multi-volume). In typical usage, the correct phrases are einbändig, eine einbändige Ausgabe, or das Werk liegt in einem Band vor.

Etymology and meaning: The word derives from ein- (one) and Band (volume, binding). It is used to indicate that all content is contained within a single binding, rather than across several volumes. The concept is common in library catalogs and publishing to distinguish formats and influences how the item is shelved or lent.

Usage and examples: In catalog entries, a single-volume edition may be described as eine einbändige Ausgabe or als in einem Band erschienen. For example, a novel released as a single-volume edition would be described as eine einbändige Ausgabe des Romans. In contrast, a multi-volume reference work would be described as zweibändig oder mehrbändig. The exact phrasing can vary by cataloging guidelines.

Notes and caveats: Because einembandigen is not standard, it can lead to ambiguity. If encountered, it is advisable to verify with the original source or consult a reputable dictionary or cataloging guideline to determine whether a misspelling or dialectal variant is intended.
