Mainauthor documentation #75

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

A unique use case is Moulton's Grammar. It has four volumes, but some of them are written by other authors — but the main work is still attributed to Moulton.

From SBLHS2.com

  1. Nigel Turner, Style, vol. 4 of A Grammar of New Testament Greek, by James Hope Moulton, 4 vols. (Edinburgh: T&T Clark, 1908–1976), 71.

I discovered that using mainauthor does indeed produce the desired result, but this is not documented in the biblatex-sbl.pdf.

Result:

  1. Nigel Turner, Syntax, vol. 3 of A Grammar of New Testament Greek, by James Hope Moulton, 4 vols. (Edinburgh: T & T Clark, 1908-1976).

Thanks! I must have forgotten to put it in. Also, I didn't know about that website either. I might take a closer look.
