Most of the prescriptions that follow are concerned with citation style. For matters not discussed here, authors should refer to The Chicago Manual of Style , 14th ed. The author is responsible for the accuracy of quotations and citations, which should be verified before the manuscript is submitted. The guiding principle for citations is maximum clarity for the reader rather than brevity. When in doubt, the author should err on the side of providing more rather than less information.
Arabic numerals are to be used for volume, part, and section numbers.
This is true for journal volume numbers, for volume numbers and other subdivisions in a series, and for volume numbers in a multivolume work. It is also true for the subdivisions of classical and medieval texts. Roman numerals are retained when the original work uses them for page numbers. They are also retained for manuscript shelfmarks, where as much as possible the usage of the library should be followed. Medieval Author, Opus 2.4.1, ed.
