REFERENCE STYLE GUIDE
General
rules for reference style
Where
a single date is given in square brackets in the Revised Register of Titles this
is not quoted in the Dictionary, e.g.
Barb.
Where a date range or [v.d.] is given,
e.g.
T.
Hope
Diary
or Innes
Rev., the actual date of the quotation is
given wherever possible. Where scholarly research has led to alterations in the
dating of individual texts throughout the period of compilation of the
Dictionary, this has been recorded in this guide, e.g.
Bute
MS.
Where
there is an author the name is given in small capitals. Lower case roman
denotes the editor. In earlier volumes lower case roman is also used where the
quotation is from material quoted by the author and not the author’s own
words. In later volumes, due to technological constraints, this practice was
discontinued and small capitals have been used whether or not the quotation is
the author’s own words. In earlier volumes lower case was also used where
the text widely diverges from the preferred text, e.g. the Cottonian and Wemyss
texts of Wyntoun (see
Wynt.
entry), or where authorship is doubtful (see
Dunb.
entry). Where a text comprises the works of various authors, the names of those
who can be identified precede the reference. In earlier volumes the style is
e.g.
Stewart
Bann.
MS, in later volumes the style is
Stewart
in Bann.
MS.
The
title of the work is given in italic in the form listed in the Revised Register
of Titles. The convention of giving the title of a text ‘in’
another, e.g. Edinb.
Skinners in
Bk. Old Edinb.
C. may be given whenever judged necessary.
Bibliographic details for the source in which a text is to be found are included
in the Revised Register of Titles, but such details of the text itself are not
necessarily included.
Where
more than one volume of a text is used, the volume number is given unless
pagination is consecutive. Similarly, part number is given unless pagination is
consecutive. Where only one volume is used and this is listed in the
bibliography, the volume number is generally not given in the dictionary
reference, e.g. Laing
MSS.
Where there is more than
one series, the series number is given from the second series onwards as 2 Ser.,
3 Ser., etc.
Page
number and line number or column number, where appropriate, are given. In
printed editions, such as
Skene
Reg.
Maj., where the
recto
side of the page is numbered, the
verso
side is distinguished by the letter b; a (=
recto)
is usually omitted. In printed editions where page numbers are not given, e.g.
Baillie
Anabaptisme,
reference is made using the printer’s signature at the foot of the page.
This is usually preceded in the reference by the abbreviation Sig. followed by a
letter, a number (usually in roman numerals), and a or b (=
recto
or
verso).
For
manuscripts folio number is given as, e.g., 23a, 72b (where a =
recto
and b =
verso);
a may be omitted. In earlier volumes the abbreviation fol. for folio was
included in some references but this practice is discontinued in later volumes
unless absolutely necessary for clarity. The practice of using the letter p.
before the page number of a manuscript is also discontinued in later volumes
unless absolutely necessary for clarity.
Where
a quotation can be taken either from the manuscript or from an edition, the
edition is distinguished either by (ed.) or the publisher’s name in
brackets,
e.g.
BC (Bannatyne Club), STS (Scottish Text Society), SHS (Scottish History
Society), Camden Soc. (Camden Society), OUP (Oxford University Press). Where
this would present difficulties, e.g. in the case of
Gilbert
Hay’s
Prose Works where both editions are
published by the STS, the editor of the most recent edition is given in brackets
as
Hay
(Glenn) to distinguish it from the earlier edition. The abbreviation MS is
latterly only given in references where an edition also exists and is no longer
used where the text exists only in manuscript.
In
the later volumes stops were removed from consecutive capital sequences, e.g.
O.U.P., S.T.S., S.H.S. were altered to OUP, STS and SHS.
References
to entries in other dictionaries and vocabularies (including
Skene
Verb.
S.) are given in the form s.v.
Headword
and the source dictionary is identified. In quotations from alphabetically
arranged vocabularies such as
Despauter,
Duncan
App. Etym. and
Wedderburn
Voc.
the quotation is to be found by the Latin headword which is usually included in
italics at the beginning of the quotation but may also be given s.v.
Headword.
References
which conform to the general style outlined above are not listed in this guide,
which lists only those references which have been altered in some other way
throughout the period of compilation of the Dictionary and those which are
complex and require some explanation.
Full
bibliographical details are given in the Revised Register of
Titles.
Reference
Structure
A
reference is composed of four primary components: date, author/editor, title and
mode of reference. This guide comprises references where one or more of these
components has been altered in later volumes of the dictionary.
Examples:
- Bk.
Rates the date was originally given in the
reference to distinguish the 1597 and 1612 texts. Later volumes refer to the
former as Bk.
Rates and the latter as
Bk.
Rates (Halyb.)
- Doug.
K.
Hart latterly believed to be not by
Douglas and referred to as
K.Hart.
- Instit.
Ct. Sess. [1565] In later volumes cited
as Instit. Ct.
Sess. in
Edinb. Univ.
MS La.
iii
388a + folio number, and subsequently changed to
Edinb. Univ.
MS La.
iii
388a + folio number.
- of
reference: Boece
originally referred to by book number, chapter number and folio number, in the
later stages of the dictionary reference is by folio number only.
Boece
iv
ii 87b is reduced to
Boece
87b in later
volumes.
