Prescriptor (and prescripcío - same context)

Catalan to English Art/Literary Printing & Publishing
This is a term used in the Pla Nacional de Lectura 2012-2016 in the following forms in relation to the figure of the author.

El Pla nacional de lectura 2012-2016 està plantejat de manera transversal perquè abasti tant la promoció de la lectura com la recuperació de tots els agents de la indústria del llibre, i s’estructura al voltant de tres grans eixos: l’autoria i la prescripció, l’obra i els lectors.

L’autor i el prescriptor és el primer eix, concebut per incidir en tres objectius bàsics: figura de l’autor i la necessitat de reconèixer i prestigiar-ne el rol social;

Thx for your help,

Promoter

It appears to be used in this context to mean the person or agent promoting the work (publishing house).

I'm sure you'd find lots of examples in Catalan of prescriptor being used to mean the agent promoting the event, object, etc.

Note from asker:
Oh! I hadn't considered that at all. Thanks Berni and Andy for your input - I'm going to go back and check all the instances with that in mind. :o)
Peer comment(s):

agree Andy Watkinson : True Berni, but not sure it's only the agents. It could also be the more general type of "prescriptor" who could be well-known figures who praise the books in question, to achieve the "acknowledgement" and "prestige". (BTW, glad you found the G.Syrup)

I agree. I guess I didn't make it clear that Agent included anyone doing the promoting. BTW Do you have anything to do with my finding the G.Syrup ;) Or do you just frequent the same site :)
