Volume field is out of order in bibliography for ANF and NPNF¹ (§6.4.5 of SBLHS2)

Current output:

The Ante-Nicene Fathers. Edited by Alexander Roberts and James Donaldson. 10 vols. 1885–1887. Repr., Peabody, MA: Hendrickson, 1994.

The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series 1. Edited by Philip Schaff. 14 vols. 1886–1889. Repr., Peabody, MA: Hendrickson, 1994.

Expected output:

The Ante-Nicene Fathers. Edited by Alexander Roberts and James Donaldson. 1885–1887. 10 vols. Repr., Peabody, MA: Hendrickson, 1994.

The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series 1. Edited by Philip Schaff. 1886–1889. 14. vols. Repr., Peabody, MA: Hendrickson, 1994.

Unfortunately this is to do with a design problem with how I have implemented §6.2.17  Reprint of a Recent Title and will take some time to think through and correct.

[dcpurton]

Actually, I'm not so sure about this one. I think the handbook is wrong for ANF and NPNF¹. See a selection of examples from the handbook below. These two are the only ones putting the volume in this somewhat odd position. In every other case Repr. follows on directly after the original publication date.

Although there is still a question of where the volume should go. In my view it should either go before origdate if it was originally published in this many volumes, or after Repr., if the reprint was published in a different number of volumes than the original. In this latter case though I would think we would want both an origvolume and a volume specified, with origvolume coming before origdate and volume coming after Repr.

The problem then is that potentially a lot of orig- fields would need to be added. I think a better option would be to use a related entry and then some way of differentiating between this kind of reprint and a full history citation (§6.2.5).

I think the "Current Output" in your first post is better than the "Expected" one, so just leave it as it is.

[dcpurton]

Latest version supports 3 different ways of doing reprints:

1. Only original location, publisher, and/or year required. e.g.,

   @book{vanseters:1997,
      author = {Van Seters, John},
      title = {In Search of History: Histeriography in the Ancient World and
      the Origins of Biblical History},
      origlocation = {New Haven},
      origpublisher = {Yale University Press},
      origdate = {1983},
      location = {Winona Lake, IN},
      publisher = {Eisenbrauns},
      date = {1997}
   }

   ⁷John Van Seters, In Search of History: Histeriography in the Ancient World and the Origins of Biblical History (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1983; repr., Winona Lake, IN: Eisenbrauns, 1997), 80.

   ⁸Van Seters, In Search of History, 90.

   Van Seters, John. In Search of History: Histeriography in the Ancient World and the Origins of Biblical History. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1983. Repr., Winona Lake, IN: Eisenbrauns, 1997.

2. When extra information for the reprint is required, use a related entry with relatedtype = {reprint}. (A custom string can be specified instead of “Repr.” using the optional relatedstring field. In this case no punctuation is inserted after the relatedstring. You could think of the default being relatedstring = {\bibstring{reprint},}.) e.g.,

   @mvbook{sasson:2000,
      editor = {Sasson, Jack M.},
      title = {Civilizations of the Ancient Near East},
      volumes = {4},
      location = {New York},
      publisher = {Scribner's Sons},
      year = {1995},
      related = {sasson:repr},
      relatedtype = {reprint}
   }
   @mvbook{sasson:repr,
      volumes = {4~vols.\ in 2},
      location = {Peabody, MA},
      publisher = {Hendrickson},
      date = {2000}
   }

   ³Jack M. Sasson, ed., Civilizations of the Ancient Near East, 4 vols. (New York: Scribner’s Sons, 1995; repr., 4 vols. in 2; Peabody, MA: Hendrickson, 2000), 1:40.

   Sasson, Jack M., ed. Civilizations of the Ancient Near East. 4 vols. New York: Scribner’s Sons, 1995. Repr., 4 vols. in 2. Peabody, MA: Hendrickson, 2000.

3. Full reprint history is also done using the related field, but with some other relatedtype apart from relatedtype = {reprint}. e.g.,

   @book{wellhausen:1883,
      author = {Wellhausen, Julius},
      title = {Prolegomena zur Geschichte Israels},
      edition = {2},
      location = {Berlin},
      publisher = {Reimer},
      date = {1883}
   }
   @book{wellhausen:1885,
      author = {Wellhausen, Julius},
      title = {Prolegomena to the History of Israel},
      translator = {Black, J. Sutherland and Enzies, A.},
      preface = {Smith, W. Robertson},
      location = {Edinburgh},
      publisher = {Black},
      related = {wellhausen:1883},
      relatedtype = {translationof},
      date = {1885}
   }
   @book{wellhausen:1957,
      author = {Wellhausen, Julius},
      title = {Prolegomena to the History of Ancient Israel},
      location = {New York},
      publisher = {Meridian Books},
      related = {wellhausen:1885},
      relatedtype = {reprintof},
      date = {1957}
   }

Notes

This implementation differs from the SBLHS in that:

• it does not allow for any field to go between the original date and “Repr.” (cf. SBLHS2 §6.4.5).
• it does not put extra fields associated with the original edition within parentheses (cf. SBLHS2 §6.2.18).

This breaks backwards compatibility in that:

• origtranslator and origeditor are no longer supported.
• relatedtype = {reprint} now behaves differently to any other relatedtype

I think this can handle all the reprint examples I can find in the SBLHS.
