Multiple works from the same edited volume

[folofjc]

I posted a question on tex.se about the bibliography when you have multiple volumes from a multivolume work. I think footnote is correct there, but the bibliography is a bit cumbersome. However, it might be correct when you compare it to multiple works from an edited volume.

In SBLHS2 section 6.2.12, when you have multiple works from the same edited volume, the bibliography entry of each has the entire bibliographic information of the edited volume (which would imply that the bibliography for each volume of a multivolume work should also have the complete bibliography of the multi-volume set). However, 6.2.12 states that in the footnotes, subsequent essays from the same edited work should only contain a short reference to the edited work (see the entry for footnote 9 for Attridge). In the biblatex-sbl-examples file, it only shows the first citation. Here is a MWE with multiple works from the same edited volume:

\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt]{book}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage[variant=us]{english}
\usepackage[english=american]{csquotes} 

\begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{customstyles.dbx}
  \DeclareDatamodelEntrytypes{tdict}
\end{filecontents}

\usepackage[style=sbl,citepages=omit,fullbibrefs=true,sblfootnotes=false,citereset=chapter]{biblatex}

\begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{temp.bib}
@collection{Collection1,
   editor    = {Jones, Philipp},
   title     = {Edited Volume},
   subtitle  = {A Collection of Articles},
   publisher = {Good Publishing Company},
   address   = {London},
   date      = {2009}
}

@incollection{EdwardsColl1,
   crossref = {Collection1},
   author   = {Joe Edwards},
   title    = {The First Essay},
   pages    = {81-99}
}

@incollection{CunninghamColl1,
   crossref = {Collection1},
   author   = {David Cunningham},
   title    = {A Second Essay},
   subtitle = {On Writing Multiple Essays},
   pages    = {100-117}
}

@incollection{SmithColl1,
   crossref   = {Collection1},
   author     = {Paul Smith},
   title      = {The Third and Best Essay},
   pages      = {190-210}
}

\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{temp.bib}

\usepackage{xparse}

\begin{document}

\null\vfill
One work.\footcite[85]{EdwardsColl1} Second
work.\footcite[101]{CunninghamColl1} Third
work.\footcite[200]{SmithColl1}

\clearpage
\printbibliography
\end{document}

I think the Bibliography looks correct, but the footnotes do not. They should not have the full citation of the edited work in each footnote.

Then the question is should single volumes of a multivolume work have a short version of the multivolume work in the footnotes when you have multiple volumes? SBLHS2 doesn't appear to address this, but perhaps it should be consistent??

Correct. This isn't supported. I managed to do it on my new code. I'm not sure how easy it will be to back port it though.

[folofjc]

Okay, I figured you already knew about it. I'll wait and try it out in the new code :)

[dcpurton]

Here's the output of my new code from your example. Can you see if it looks correct?

As for your second question, in my new code I seem to have assumed a consistent approach for books:

\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[style=sbl]{biblatex}

\begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{\jobname.bib}
@mvcommentary{dahood:1965-1970,
  author = {Dahood, Mitchell},
  title = {Psalms},
  volumes = {3},
  series = {Anchor Bible},
  shortseries = {AB},
  number = {16--17A},
  location = {Garden City, NY},
  publisher = {Doubleday},
  date = {1965/1970}
}
@commentary{dahood:1965,
  author = {Dahood, Mitchell},
  title = {Psalms I: 1--50},
  shorttitle = {Psalms I: 1--50},
  volume = {1},
  number = {16},
  date = {1965},
  crossref = {dahood:1965-1970}
}
@commentary{dahood:1968,
  author = {Dahood, Mitchell},
  title = {Psalms II: 51--100},
  shorttitle = {Psalms II: 51--100},
  volume = {2},
  number = {17},
  date = {1968},
  crossref = {dahood:1965-1970}
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
\null\vfill
Filler text \autocite[85]{dahood:1965}.

Filler text \autocite[101]{dahood:1968}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}

[dcpurton]

I wonder if Dahood shouldn't be repeated in the second citation?

Yep, that looks like what I would expect.

\end{filecontents}

\null\vfill

Filler text \autocite[101]{dahood:1968}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}

This is also what I would expect. Consistency I think is the right approach.

[folofjc]

I wonder if Dahood shouldn't be repeated in the second citation?

I think it should, because for edited volumes the editor is repeated when citing more essays from the same edited work. So I think that the editor of the multivolume work should also be repeated. This is an odd example because the editor of the mvbook and the author of the book are the same person. But in the question I posted on tex.se, they are different, so it would make sense to repeat them.
