For general rules on style,
see the Chicago Manual of Style, 14th [or latest] ed.
(Chicago, 1993). For presentation, do not use desk-top publishing features
such as justification, centering, bold-type, or different fonts within
the body of the text. TAB should be restricted to a paragraph indent.
Do not hyphenate words at the end of a line. Italics may be indicated
by either underlining or an italic typeface.
- Spelling
American spelling is preferred.
- Quotations
Quotations of more than four lines should be indented and double-spaced.
They should not be enclosed in quotation marks. For shorter quotations,
double quotation marks should be used for the first level of quotation,
and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations. Double
quotation marks should always follow punctuation.
- Italics
Italics should be limited to non-English words and book titles.
- Non-Roman scripts
and non-English texts
Single words or phrases in a non-Roman script must be fully transliterated;
indented quotations may be given a non-Roman script, as long as they
are clearly legible. Unvocalized text should be used, unless the argument
calls for a vocalized form. When transliteration is used, the system
should be identified in a note. The first usage of a non-English word
shold be followed by the translation in parentheses, e.g., affogati
(smothered). Diacritical marks should be used where appropriate (e.g.,
in German, umlauts should be used rather than spelling with an extra
"e;" the "sharps," however, may be rendered by "ss").
- Footnote references
References in texts and notes should be written in conventional style:
Eric Josef Carlson,
Marriage and the English Reformation (Oxford, 1994), 15-26;
Francisci Barbari de re uxoria liber in partes duas, ed.
Attilio Gnesotto (Padua, 1951), 92; Joseph P. McDermott, "Bondservants
in the T'ai-hu Basin During the Late Ming: A Case of Mistaken Identities,"
Journal of Asian Studies 40 (1981): 685-691; Jane Dempsey
Douglass, "Anticlericalism in Three French Women Writers 1404-1539,"
in Anticlericalism in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe,
eds. Peter A. Dykema and Heiko A. Oberman (Leiden, 1993), 243-56.
Bibliographic references
should be given in full upon first mention. Repeated mention of
the same reference should be abbreviated as in the following:
Carlson, Marriage,
12; McDermott, "Bondservants in the T'ai-hu Basin," 690.
References to recent
literature should preferably be to the original editions, not or
not only to reprints or translations. No separate bibliography
is required. (See the Chicago Manual of Style for additional
guidelines.)

At top of review, give Author or Editor -- surname, followed by first
names and/or initials as on title page; Full title -- as on title
page and with the same capitals in italics; Place of publication,
publisher, date -- all in parentheses; number of pages, price, and
ISBN for hard and paper editions.
