Note

The creation element may be used to record details of a text's creation, e.g. the date and place it was composed, if these are of interest.

It may also contain a more structured account of the various stages or revisions associated with the evolution of a text; this should be encoded using the listChange element. It should not be confused with the publicationStmt element, which records date and place of publication.

Example
<creation>
 <date>Before 1987</date>
</creation>
Example
<creation>
 <date when="1988-07-10">10 July 1988</date>
