General rules:

Authors and editors:

Spaces after all initials in names.

M. L. Samuels

The forenames of modern editors and authors are reduced to initials; if the name of a medieval author appears on the title page of an edition as the author (i.e., not part of the title), that name is used in its full form.

See examples in ¶4 below

Use "ed." before an editor’s name; use "transcr." before name of transcriber. If one person has two roles, list with "and" rather than "&":

See examples of editions in ¶2 below
See examples of transcriptions in ¶3 (published) and ¶7 (unpublished) below

For texts with multiple editors, use "eds."; for 2 editors, put "and" between names (no commas); for 3 editors, use commas and insert "and" before the last name. For more than 3 editors, list the first or principal editor, and then use et al.

See examples in ¶2 below

Treat all authors of articles as "authors" rather than editors, even if the article is an edition.

See examples in ¶5 and ¶6 below

Titles:

For English titles, capitalize all but function words.
For German titles, capitalize first letter of title, substantives, and other parts of speech used as substantives. For French titles, capitalize first letter of title, and proper nouns.
Italicize all titles of books, editions, periodicals, etc. Do not italicize article titles, title-like strings in photostats and transcripts, or dissertation titles.
Put titles of articles (in books or journals) within quotation marks (see ¶5 and 6 below).
Where titles within titles are formally marked-off in the title of an edition or article, put them in single quotation marks:

<EDITION>C. D'Evelyn, "The Middle-English Metrical Version of the ‘Revelations’ of Methodius," <I>PMLA</I> 33 (1918).</EDITION> [the source had Revelations in italics]
<EDITION><I>Robert of Brunne's 'Handlyng Synne'</I>, ed. F. J. Furnivall, <I>EETS</I> 119, 123 (1901, 1903).</EDITION> [source has Handlyng Synne in double quotation marks]

Replace MED ellipsis (..) with a character entity (…) surrounded by spaces (unless at the end of a title). Where part of a title is omitted, or the title is truncated, use an ellipsis (&hellip) rather than "etc." Avoid using ellipsis at the end of a title if not necessary.

<EDITION><I>The Fire of Love and The Mending of Life or the Rule of Living &hellip; Englisht &hellip; by Richard Misyn,</I> ed. R. Harvey, <I>EETS</I> 106 (1896).</EDITION>
<EDITION>T. Phillipps, "Account of the Ceremonial of the Marriage of the Princess Margaret, &hellip;," <I>Archaeol.</I> 31 (1846).</EDITION>

Restyle titles such as: "Some ME Work edited from MS Add 123 by J. Doe" as:

Some ME Work … from MS Add 123, ed. J. Doe

Remove initial MED titles that are not part of the strict bibliographic reference.

See examples in ¶9A below

Try to maintain the punctuation of the print bib, but restore omitted punctuation where it makes sense: thus, we changed "Mandeville's Travels texts and translations" to "Mandeville's Travels: Texts and Translations."

Publication info:

Do not include place of publication with date.

(Berlin 1789) becomes (1789)

Add "vol." where needed; i.e., for multi-volume sets, but not for a series or journal number.
Expand "pt." to "part"; "rpt." to "reprint".
Do not capitalize "vol." or "part".
Precede "reprint," "re-ed.," "rev.," etc. with a semi-colon and style as:

(1725; reprint 1810)
(1865; re-ed. 1875)
(1887; rev. 1914)
(1865; rev. 1892; reprint 1974)
(1865, 1875; reprint as one vol. 1974)

Include only one reprint date, the most recent. Retain MED re-ed or rev. information (often excluded from the new EETS catalogs).
If item is part of a series or from a journal, be sure the series name or journal title is included here.

See examples in ¶9B below

In series abbreviations within EDITION, add spaces between parts of a series name. Add spaces between series name and vol. number.

<I>Sur. Soc.</I> 13 (1874).</EDITION>
<I>Dugd. Soc.</I> 123 (1894).</EDITION>
<I>RHS</I> ser. 3, vol. 57 (1937).</EDITION>

There is no need to expand journal abbreviations for now; this may be done later.

References (inside the <REF> tag):

Do not capitalize here (unless the item being referenced is uppercase).

<REF>app. pp. 13-15.</REF>
<REF>app. A, pp. 54-55.</REF>
<REF>fns.</REF>

Where the print bib refers to a span of pages, it minimizes to one digit when possible. The HyperBib will minimize to two digits, except where the second would begin with "0"; so, change:

12-6	to	12-16
142-8	to	142-48
502-3	stays	502-3

Do not include "pp." before a simple page reference; so "pp. 18-23" and "pp. 21-26(lines 23-160)" become:

<REF>18-23.</REF>
<REF>21-26(lines 23-160).</REF>

Do include "pp." (with a space after it) when specifying odd or even pages, roman numerals, and after "cols.," "bottom," "app.," or "fns."

<REF>bottom pp. 19-20.</REF>
<REF>app. pp. 13-15.</REF>
<REF>fns. pp. 21-67.</REF>

Do not put a space between page and line numbers, or between page and item numbers.

<REF>1-16(line 9), 12(line 10)-14.</REF>
<REF>248-52(item 7).</REF>

Put in a semi-colon between "sections" of a REF.

<REF>fns. pp. 1-18; endnotes pp. 150-53.</REF>

For REFs in VARGROUPs, do not use "vrr. in fns....". Use simply:

<REF>fns.</REF> [for single text editions]
<REF>fns. pp. 1-18.</REF> [for mutiple item editions]
<REF>fns. pp. 95, 97.</REF> [or more specific refs]

Italicize "passim"

<REF>passim.</REF>

Include a comma after a page number reference followed by "passim."

<REF>even pp., passim.</REF>

Be sure to always end REF with a period.

<REF>15.</REF>

Misc:

Do not put tags between punctuation and preceding text.

<I>... Title End,</I> rather than <I>... Title End</I>,
<I>passim.</I><REF> rather than <I>passim<I>.<REF>

The print bib is very compressed. The HyperBib has added a space after nearly all punctuation (commas, periods, colons, etc.) in the EDITION and REF elements. This addition is especially common between journal or serial titles and the following volume number.

Exceptions to this include "n.s." and "n.f." (new series), and numerical journal or series references:

... Camd. n.s. 17 (1876).</EDITION>


... <I>RES</I> n.s. 13, no. 51 (1962).</EDITION>
... <I>Elizabethan and Renaissance Studies</I> 92:10 (1983).</EDITION>
... <I>Transactions of the American Philosophical Society</I> 74.2 (1984).</EDITION>

Leave abbreviations as found in the print bib. (except "pt." or "rpt."), i.e., do not expand "re-ed.," "rev.," "app.," "transcr."
Where the MED has corrected an edition against published errata or by its own reading of the manuscript, put that information in the USE element, not in EDITION.

Second editions, etc.

The pattern to follow here is title, editor, edition (date); or title, editor, edition, vol. number (date).

<EDITION><I>The Poems of Laurence Minot,<I> ed. J. Hall, 3rd ed. (1914).</EDITION> <REF>103-11.</REF>
<EDITION><I>Monumenta Ritualia Ecclesiae Anglicanae,</I> ed. W. Maskell, 2nded., vol. 3 (1882).</EDITION> <REF>249.</REF>

With volume or part numbers, though not in a series:

The EDITION element contains information only on the specific volume or volumes in which the quoted work appears. It may thus refer to a single volume in a multi-volume work, or to all volumes.

If we have a list of distinct years, prefer that (1827, 1830) over a hyphenated span (1827-30), yet don’t look for additional information if all you have is the span (i.e., accept what the print bib and cards give us). Expand a reference such as "1855-7" to "1855-57."

If the title page of the edition treats the medieval author as the person responsible for the creation of the text (i.e., as an author distinct from the title), then enter this name first, in full, before the title of the work.

<EDITION>Robert Mannyng of Brunne, Handlyng Synne, ed. I. Sullens (1983).</EDITION>

Articles in journals or series:

Treat the writers of articles as "authors," even if the content is an edition (i.e., put their names first and don’t use "ed.").

Photostats and transcripts:

No italics are used. Comma before transcriber’s name; semi-colon before "in poss. of MED." Accept the MED manuscript reference as is, unless unclear; be sure that it matches the manuscript in the MSLIST. The REF will not likely be used. Change the MED phrasing "authorized copy in poss. of MED" to "in poss. of MED."

Special Problems

A. Removing MED titles from EDITION

The MED frequently prefixed a title to their rendition of the source (EDITION) information. This is usually signaled by a colon. For example:

<EDITION>Poor Men's Mirror: The Donet by Reginald Pecock, ed. E. V. Hitchcock, EETS 156 (1921)</EDITION>
<EDITION>?Richard Maidstone, A Paraphrase of the Seven Penitential Psalms: The Minor Poems of the Vernon MS, part 1, ed. C. Horstmann, EETS 98 (1892).</EDITION>
<EDITION>John Page, The Siege of Rouen: The Historical Collections of a Citizen of London, ed. J. Gairdner, Camd. n.s. 17 (1876).</EDITION>
<EDITION>The Gild Ordinances: The Oak Book of Southampton, ed. P. Studer (1910).</EDITION>
<EDITION>Mock Sermon on the Text Mollificant Olera Durissima Crusta: Reliquiae Antiquae, eds. T. Wright and J. O. Halliwell, vol. 1 (1845).</EDITION>
<EDITION>The Mother With Seven Boys: W. Heuser, "Die Alttestamentlichen Dichtungen des MS Seld.Supra 52 der Bodliana," Anglia 31 (1908).</EDITION>
<EDITION>A Monk Sees a Vision of the Virgin: R. W. Tryon, "Miracles of Our Lady," PMLA 38 (1923).</EDITION>

Because HyperBib entries all have modern titles, these added titles are not necessary and need to be removed. In EDITION, we are supplying only the strict bibliographic information for the source of the MED’s text. The above examples should therefore be converted to:

<EDITION><I>The Donet by Reginald Pecock,</I> ed. E. V. Hitchcock, <I>EETS</I> 156 (1921)</EDITION>
<EDITION><I>The Minor Poems of the Vernon MS,</I> part 1, ed. C. Horstmann, <I>EETS<I> 98 (1892).</EDITION>
<EDITION><I>The Historical Collections of a Citizen of London,</I> ed. J. Gairdner, <I>Camd.</I> n.s. 17 (1876).</EDITION>
<EDITION><I>The Oak Book of Southampton,</I> ed. P. Studer (1910).</EDITION>
<EDITION><I>Reliquiae Antiquae,</I> eds. T. Wright and J. O. Halliwell, vol. 1 (1845).</EDITION>
<EDITION>W. Heuser, "Die alttestamentlichen Dichtungen des MS Seld. Supra 52 der Bodliana," <I>Anglia</I> 31 (1908).</EDITION>
<EDITION>R. W. Tryon, "Miracles of Our Lady," <I>PMLA</I> 38 (1923).</EDITION>

NB. If you remove one of these titles, save it for now in the NOTE element.

B. Journal titles or Series names missing from EDITION

The print bib, and thus the electronic file we’re working from, frequently will not repeat a journal title or a series name that is included in the stencil. So for the stencil,

Mappae Clavicula in Archaeol.32

the print bib reads:

<EDITION>T. Phillipps, Mappae Clavicula, a Treatise on the Preparation of Pigments During the Middle Ages. (1847).</EDITION> <REF>187-244.</REF>

The journal title and volume number, preceded by a comma, need to be restored to the EDITION information in the HyperBib entry. Remember in these conversions to add a space between the journal title and volume number (the stencil remains compressed). In the present case, we also recognize that we’re dealing with an article title. The final entry should read:

<EDITION>T. Phillipps, "Mappae Clavicula, a Treatise on the Preparation of Pigments During the Middle Ages," <I>Archaeol.</I> 32 (1847).</EDITION> <REF>187-244.</REF>

C. Aggregate stencils

The print bib will frequently pile several series volume numbers into one stencil, even though when appearing in the dictionary, only one volume number is used. For example, the print bib has a stencil,

Mem.Ripon in Sur.Soc.74;78;81;115

which is shorthand for four distinct stencils, one for each volume number. The print bib’s bibliographic information for this aggregate stencil will thus refer to all volumes:

<EDITION>Memorials of the Church of SS. Peter and Wilfrid, Ripon, ed. J. T. Fowler (1882); (1886); (1888); (1908).</EDITION>

[Notice that this bib entry also omits the series name (Sur. Soc.), indicating the problem discussed above in ¶9B]

The HyperBib breaks these aggregate stencils apart, making separate entries for each of the volumes cited. The last of the four new stencils in this example will read:

Mem.Ripon in Sur.Soc.115

The EDITION elements for these four new stencils will need to be similarly adjusted (as well as having the series name and vol. number restored). The final EDITION element for the stencil immediately above should read:
