Style Notes

Follower the editor's name with the abbreviation ed. (or eds.).
Use the same format where there is a translator or compiler instead of an editor.
The entry in the bibliography should include the names of all editors.
In the bibliography (but not the footnotes), invert the first editor’s name (i.e. surname, given name).
Specify the edition if it is not the first edition.
Page numbers are not given in the bibliography entry.
Use the shortened form for second and subsequent footnotes. The shortened form does not include ed. or eds.
