Citing Sources
A. Citing Hard Copy Sources: Oxford Studies
in Ancient Philosophy Style
- In the main text of the paper, when you quote
Aristotle’s original text in translation, cite in parentheses following the
quote the title of the work, the Bekker
pagination, not the pagination of the English translation, and the name of
the editor who is responsible for the work being cited. For example,
“All
men naturally desire knowledge” (Metaphysics, 980a, Ackrill
ed.)
- Following the first citation of Aristotle’s original
text in translation, a footnote or end note should be given thus:
All
references to the Bekker pagination of the Aristotelian texts are keyed to
either J. Barnes, ed., Complete Works of Aristotle, 2 vols. (Princeton: 1984) or to J.L. Ackrill,
ed. A New Aristotle Reader (Princeton:
1988). Each time the original text is
cited the reference to text will include the name of the editor who is
responsible for the work being cited.
- In references to books, the first time the book is
referred to give the initial(s) and the last name of the author, the place
and date of publication, and the page number(s). Where you will be citing the same author
in subsequent references, give an abbreviation of the title of the
author’s work in square brackets, thus:
T.
Brickhouse and N. Smith, Socrates on Trial [Trial]
(Princeton, 1981), 91.
In
cases where you intend to cite the book only once omit the brackets with the
abbreviation.
- In references to articles in periodicals, the first
time the book is referred to give the initial(s) and the last name of the
author, the name of the periodical, the number of the volume of the
periodical, the date of publication, the full page- extend of the article
and the page number(s) of the material referenced. Where you will be citing the same
article in subsequent references, give an abbreviation of the title of the
author’s work in brackets thus:
D.W. Graham, “Symmetry in the Empedoclean
Cycle” [“Symmetry”] Classical Quarterly 38 (1988), 221-65 at 228.
In
cases where you intend to cite the article only once, omit the brackets with
the abbreviation.
