Citation standards

Scripta Mediaevalia publishes studies on medieval thought, whose disciplinary field belongs to the human sciences (philosophy, literature, history, etc.). In this sense, the reference format that he adopts for his contributions corresponds to the “footnote and bibliography system”, established by the Chicago Manual of Style, with the slight modification that medieval authors, such as Thomas Aquinas, Alberto Magno, Egidio Romano, etc., are cited in their full name in all footnotes. The formalities of the document are detailed in the provisions stipulated below. You can also go to the following website: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html

- All direct quotes must be enclosed in quotation marks.

- Longer citations in the body of the tet must be presented in a separate paragraph, in font 10, with single spacing, paragraph indentation on the left of 1.5 and without quotation marks.

- Notes should be automatically numbered as footnotes.

- The numbers of the footnotes should be located after the punctuation marks. E. g.: “Deus est quo nihil melius ecogitari possit” .¹

- Italics may be used in short Latin epressions or in another language, or in book titles. It can also be used to highlight a word written in the language of the article.

- No other graphic signs should be used apart from italics, such as bold, capitalized words, etc.

- The use of typical abbreviations in humanistic studies is allowed, preferably in its Latin form: f./ff. (folium, folia), v. (verso), r. (recto), c. (circa), lib. (liber), q. (quaestio), d. (distinctio), a. (articulum), sol. (solutio), vd. (vide), cfr., ibid., e.g., ed., eds.

It is not allowed the use of op. cit. nor of p./pp.

- If any special type of font is used (Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Cyrillic, or transliterations with special characters), the file of the font used must be sent.

- The tet must be sent ready to print. The authors of the selected works will receive the galley proofs in PDF format for their review. For technical reasons, substantial or overly etensive changes will not be allowed.

System of footnotes and bibliography

This system is etremely fleible, because, apart from opening a space in some documents to cite certain types of unusual sources, it allows you to comment on the cited sources. The notes are numbered with superscripts in the body of the tet and these have their correspondence at the bottom of the page (in Microsoft Word there is a tool that allows you to include footnotes as the tet is written).^[1]

All titles cited and included in footnotes must appear in the “Bibliography” section at the end of the work. When a reference is entered in a footnote, only the complete data is recorded in the first citation. Multiple citations from the same source, after the first, are arranged in short form. The structure of each reference must conform to the following models:

1. Single Author Books

Full quote in a note (N)^[2]

 Name Surname, Title: Subtitle (City: Publisher, year), page (s) consulted (s).

Abbreviated citation in a note (NA)

The purpose of short citations is to reduce the volume of material documented in a job. The short form includes enough data so that readers can find the complete information in the section entitled “Bibliography”.
