Chapter Abbreviations (etc.)
Posted: Thu May 20, 2021 1:57 pm
Hi,
Quite a few of the references I cite come from premodern publications that are divided up into complex subsections of books, parts, and chapters. However, I'm struggling to come up with a way to cite these subsections without creating an unmatched citation. At the moment, this is the problem citation: ("ch 7" comes up as the specific error).
{ab Alexandro, 1539, #36541@bk. 3, ch. 25; bk. 4; ch. 7}
What I'd like is a way to abbreviate "Book 3, Chapter 25" and "Book Four, Chapter 7" without messing up my bookends scan. I don't need to use the specific abbreviation that I have provided above, but I'd like some form of abbreviation.
Thanks!
